Today we are featuring an excerpt from the Commune course Political Hope with philosopher, teacher, public speaker, and author Charles Eisenstein. This course was filmed during the election season of 2019 and, rather than feeling out of date, still offers potent insights into why real political change can feel so elusive — and what we can do about it.

Rabbi Sharon Brous is the founding rabbi of IKAR, a Jewish community in Los Angeles, and the author of The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Heal Our Hearts and Mend Our Broken World. In this conversation, Rabbi Brous emphasizes the importance of “sacred encounters,” people truly see and hear each other's stories, particularly in times of grief or pain. She also points to the Jewish ritual of asking the brokenhearted, “Tell me what happened to you?” as a model for deep, empathetic listening.

We finish our four-part series from the Peace Initiative for Israel and Palestine hosted at Commune Topanga with a unique conversation between Mohsen Mahdawi and Aharon Dardik. Facing each other just a few feet apart, Mohsen and Aharon practice sharing the most empathetic version of the other’s life. As Jeff sits quietly between them, he is struck (again) by this profound realization: We need to be able to tell each other’s stories — because when we feel seen and heard, only then can geopolitical solutions be cooperatively strategized, argued, and drafted.

We continue our four-part series from the Peace Initiative for Israel and Palestine hosted at Commune Topanga by featuring Aharon Dardik, a Columbia student and activist. After moving as a child from Oakland, California, to a settlement in the West Bank, Aharon witnessed Israeli occupation and militarism firsthand. Aharon conscientiously objected to service in the Israeli Air Force and, following a four-month process of imprisonment, was legally recognized as a pacifist and discharged from military service. Since then, Aharon has worked in both Israeli and American grassroots activism, governmental lobbying, and policy writing for peace. Aharon and Jeff discuss Aharon’s work at Columbia toward bridging the Jewish and Palestinian communities, promoting understanding, and reducing demonization — an undertaking that hasn’t always been easy.

We continue our four-part series from the Peace Initiative for Israel and Palestine hosted at Commune Topanga by featuring Mohsen Mahdawi, a passionate activist and bridge-builder at Columbia University, currently in his senior year.Mohsen underscores empathy as the foundation of his work for justice as a path to peace, especially in understanding others’ perspectives, including Israelis and Jews, without compromising on the Palestinian Thawabit (fundamentals) despite the challenging circumstances. In this conversation with Jeff, Mohsen shares his story of growing up in a Palestinian refugee camp and the significant trauma he experienced there. Despite losing an uncle, two cousins, and his best friend during the Second Intifada, and more recently, four additional cousins in the West Bank, Mohsen remains steadfast in his hope for justice and peace. Together Mohsen and Jeff discuss the importance of empathy, cross-cultural dialogue, addressing trauma, and peaceful advocacy for change.This podcast is supported by: Timeline: Timeline is offering the Commune community 10% off your first order at timeline.com/partners/jeff-krasno-communeApollo Neuro:Get 15% off your purchase of the Apollo wearable at ApolloNeuro.com/communeVivobarefootUse code COMMUNE25 and get 25% off  https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/communeBiOptimizersUnlock your body's full potential with Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers, Use code ONECOMMUNE for 10% off any order at magbreakthrough.com/onecommune LMNTGet a free sample pack with any purchase at DrinkLMNT.com/COMMUNE EudēmoniaEudēmonia will take place in West Palm Beach, Florida on November 1-3.

At the end of August, Jeff hosted a summit at Commune Topanga called the Peace Initiative for Israel & Palestine. This week-long mini-conference gathered Palestinian and Israeli/Jewish campus leaders from Columbia University, Brown University, and UCLA as well as a number of Middle East historians and professional mediators. The goal was to engage in deep listening, to learn each other’s narratives, and to stand in each other’s shoes. And then, from this place of empathy and mutual understanding, work cooperatively to forge potential solutions for peace between Israel and Palestine. The genesis of this summit is Dr. Jean Krasno’s classroom at Columbia University, where she recently taught a class titled “Peacekeeping and Negotiation.” Today’s episode features Dr. Jean Krasno (aka Jeff’s mom) and sets the table for the following three episodes. Jean shares how she cultivated a sanctuary for non-violent conversation where people could be heard and seen and opposing ideas could be discussed and debated.
