David and I are both working with Counterweight - weighing in for Liberalism. The Hold my Drink podcast has recently partnered with Counterweight, and you can see David on last week's podcast with Amna Khalid, In Support of Imagination and Viewpoint Diversity, and this week's podcast with Irshad Manji, The Tao of Diversity. David has done a lot of work in the interfaith community, particularly between the Jewish and Muslim faiths. He will speak to us on the challenges he sees and the politics that have hindered true progress within the interfaith dialogue.

 

 

 

David Bernstein is an unwavering advocate for the free exchange of ideas and intellectual honesty. He is an Affiliate at Counterweight, which opposes the imposition of critical social justice on people’s daily lives, and a founder of Viewpoint Worldwide, a consultancy dedicated to advancing viewpoint diversity in organizational settings.

David has spent much of his career heading up major Jewish advocacy and pro-Israel organizations. He has written widely in such publications as the Washington Post, Areo, Education Week, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Our meetings will be conducted with Zoom. Zoom is free, and runs on desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones. You can also dial in on an old school phone or cell phone if you just want to listen in on the meeting (and talk.)
