Taub reflects on how Jewish tradition transformed argument into a disciplined, creative, and even sacred practice – one that values listening as much as conviction. Moving between biblical texts, talmudic debates, and modern public life, he considers what happens when disagreement loses its ethical frame, and how ancient models of machloket might help us navigate polarization today. The conversation traces Taub’s own journey in diplomacy and asks what it means to disagree – not to defeat, but to deepen understanding – in a fractured world.

Together with Rabbi David Ingber, Zonneveld traces her journey from a global childhood as the daughter of a Malaysian diplomat – growing up in Germany, Egypt, and India – to a two-decade career in the international music industry, where she navigated sexism and forged her creative voice. She reflects on the spiritual turning point following 9/11 that led her to reexamine Islam for herself, uncovering what she understands as its egalitarian and pluralistic core. As the founder and president of Muslims for Progressive Values, Zonneveld shares how she stepped into religious and social justice leadership – advocating for women’s rights, LGBTQ inclusion, and freedom of conscience at the United Nations and beyond. Drawing on themes from her memoir An Unlikely Social Justice Warrior: Making My Life Count As a Muslim Feminist, the conversation explores music as activism, the dismantling of patriarchy, and the winding path from personal awakening to global impact.

Oded’s journey shifts from covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a documentary filmmaker and cameraman to deep-dive into the human psyche, as he explores one of the most powerful forces in our lives: hope. He shares insights from his research, and reflections on what hope really is—how it shapes political behavior, why it is important in moments of crisis, and how we can cultivate it in ourselves and our societies. From the philosophical to the practical, and against the backdrop of ongoing violence and conflict, Oded invites us to consider whether hope is a destination or a tool—and why, especially now, it may be our most vital resource.

Matthew Heineman is an Academy Award®-nominated, nine-time Emmy Award-winning, and two-time DGA Award winning-filmmaker. In 2019, he received a nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First Time Feature Film Director from the Directors Guild of America for his narrative debut, A Private War —making Heineman and Martin Scorsese the only filmmakers ever nominated for both narrative and documentary DGA Awards. Heineman most recently directed AMERICAN SYMPHONY, which won two GRAMMY awards including Best Music Film, earned Academy Award® and BAFTA nominations, and won a PGA and two Critics' Choice Awards.

A self-described “Pure Diaspora Product,” Dominique reflects on a childhood shaped by the exile of her Egyptian father and Belgian mother, and the lifelong need to establish a sense of stability and belonging. From dreaming of the circus to founding world-class galleries, her journey spans continents, collaborations, and cultural movements. With decades of experience navigating competitive spheres, Dominique reflects on the evolving nature of the art world, the need for tenderness in the current moment, and the immigrant drive to build something of one’s own—offering insights into motivation, success, and, perhaps most of all, her ultimate aspiration: to finally be able to chill.

A self-described “Pure Diaspora Product,” Dominique reflects on a childhood shaped by the exile of her Egyptian father and Belgian mother, and the lifelong need to establish a sense of stability and belonging. From dreaming of the circus to founding world-class galleries, her journey spans continents, collaborations, and cultural movements. With decades of experience navigating competitive spheres, Dominique reflects on the evolving nature of the art world, the need for tenderness in the current moment, and the immigrant drive to build something of one’s own—offering insights into motivation, success, and, perhaps most of all, her ultimate aspiration: to finally be able to chill.

Raised in Brooklyn in a traditional community, Dianne’s journey has been marked by persistence, self-determination, and a willingness to go off the predetermined path. She reflects on her childhood, her early moments of spiritual revelation, and the struggle for acceptance—within her family and her community—when she chose a rabbinic path. Now a leader at Kehilat Romemu and educator across multiple institutions, Dianne speaks candidly about motherhood, community, and finding hope amid despair.
