Join the New York Jewish Week in partnership with UJA-Federation New York for the next event in our Folio literary series, a discussion with Ambassador Daniel Taub in conversation with Andrew Silow-Carroll, Editor at Large of the New York Jewish Week..
In this divisive age, argument is increasingly seen as a plague to be avoided or a contest to be won. Daniel Taub, former Israeli ambassador to the UK and an experienced peace negotiator and mediator, argues that ancient Jewish wisdom offers a third way.
Weaving traditional insights with contemporary research in conflict resolution, and illustrating his findings with behind-the-scenes personal stories of diplomacy and negotiations, his new book, Beyond Dispute, offers practical tools to help us have better conversations about the things that matter most, and shows how the traditions that so often drive us apart can actually bring us together.
Ambassador Daniel Taub is an Israeli diplomat and international lawyer who has represented Israel in peace negotiations with its neighbors and in many international forums. He lectures widely about conflict resolution in foreign ministries and universities around the world and is an accredited mediator. His articles have appeared in The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and The Huffington Post, and he has been interviewed on the BBC, Sky, and CNN.
