Together in times of polarization – Saba-Nur Cheema and Meron Mendel invite us to a Muslim–Jewish dinner
These are polarizing times. Contemporary discourse is accompanied by a new sense that reconciliation is impossible. What helps? Talking, to dismantle prejudice and hate. Saba-Nur Cheema, shaped by life in a conservative Muslim community, and Meron Mendel, who grew up on an Israeli kibbutz in the middle of the desert, are a mismatched pairing. In Muslim–Jewish Dinner, they jointly look at our increasingly divided society. In doing so, they discover how enlightening the other’s perspectives can be, and how much they have in common despite their apparent differences. Whether discussing the great issues of our time or small day-to-day matters, their book is an analysis of our present day, a call for openness in difficult times – and a reminder never to stop talking to each other. Host: Susanne Fritz
