Summary
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.

| 0:34.1 | that land from an incoming oppressor. |
| 0:40.3 | And despite being exiled, they maintained their identity, |
| 0:44.3 | they maintained their traditions, |
| 0:46.3 | and they maintained a desire to return. |
| 0:49.3 | This is a people that suffered a great, great, |

| 1:19.6 | Because at the end of the day, this land is part of the people's national identity. |
| 1:25.6 | It is their home. And there is nowhere else in the world for them |
| 1:31.3 | because it is this place that they constantly |
