#48 - Friendship Despite Philosophical (or other) Disagreements with Chaya Leah Sufrin and Yael Bar Tur

There is so much value to having friends with different points of view and backgrounds. I love witnessing a friendship between people whose differences should make their connection unlikely, but instead their ability to discuss their experiences leads to greater understanding and closeness. Challenge and disagreement can be an enriching aspect of a friendship rather than something to avoid at all costs. It's not about convincing the next person; it's about diversity of experience and opinion in your life. My guests are the hosts of the Ask a Jew podcast and writers of a Substack newsletter by the same name. Their bio for Ask a Jew is this: Yael Bar Tur, secular sinner, and Chaya Leah Sufrin, pious Haredi, ask each other the hard questions from Torah to Tinder. What a description!I loved our conversation! We represented three very different Jewish backgrounds, discussed being active in the process of making friends and issuing invitations, thinking of others instead of over-protecting our boundaries at all times, showing up as your full self in a friendship, and disagreeing with friends without condescension or ruining the friendship. It was a great chat!ALL THE DEAR NINA LINKS + CONTACT INFO📢 This week’s fabulous sponsor + how to purchase ad space on Dear Nina📱 Subscribe to my newsletter “Conversations About Friendship” on Substack❤️ Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, the Dear Nina Facebook group📪 Ask an anonymous friendship question🔎 Want to work with me or need another link?
