Watch the "Call": Elana Stein Hain, Director of Leadership Education, of Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, discusses "Three Ways We Change: What Works and What Doesn’t."
Read the "Responsas": Rabbis Mari Chernow, Judith HaLevy, Steve Moskowitz, and David Wolkenfeld offer their perspectives.
Elana Stein Hain offers three models of change in her talk: radical, social conditioning, and adaptive. Radical change, she says, can be immediate but polarizing. Social conditioning risks making the changes so personalized that they do not have broader impact.
Ultimately, the advantage of adaptive change, she says, is that it continues, and participants in it never give up.
"Work with what you have,using your double vision,in order to move people in a direction, taking into account their real concerns and your real concerns."
Rabbis Mari Chernow, David Wolkenfeld, Judith HaLevy, and Steve Moskowitz offer commentary that challenges and amplifies Elana Stein Hain’s positions.
