“We build community… one conversation at a time.” 

Founded by two Jewish women after October 7th, Building Community Thru Conversation (BCTC) fosters understanding and action through open dialogue. With rising antisemitism and misinformation, we provide facilitators who guide honest, meaningful, non-political conversations.
We welcome diverse perspectives with a commitment to mutual respect.

“Kind & Curious” Interfaith Conversation

IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Creating a Safe Space

We create a safe and welcoming space where individuals can engage in meaningful dialogue about complex and often sensitive topics.

  • Rooted in empathy and mutual respect, our environment encourages open and honest conversations, fostering understanding across diverse perspectives.
  • By focusing on one-on-one and small-group discussions, we prioritize personal connection and trust, allowing participants to share their experiences and ideas without fear of judgment.
  • Through this safe space, BCTC promotes civil discourse, bridges divides, and nurtures a sense of belonging and community, even when discussing challenging issues like identity, antisemitism, and interfaith relations.

FROM TEENS TO GOLDEN AGERS

We Come to You, Close to You

We bring our program to your neighborhood making the conversation easy and accessible.

  • We understand the importance of meeting people where they are—both physically and emotionally—creating opportunities for engagement that fit your community’s unique needs.
  • By hosting conversations in familiar and comfortable settings, such as homes and community centers, we eliminate barriers and ensure everyone can participate.
  • Our tailored approach ensures each program reflects the values, concerns, and perspectives of the community, fostering deeper connections and more impactful conversations right where you live.
