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
A different kind of conversation
Our unique in-person methodology is built on three key pillars designed to create safety and understanding.
Safe in your neighborhood
We focus on intimate, guided in-person conversations in living rooms and community spaces, creating psychological safety for honest sharing. We bring conversations to you — nearby and accessible. No public panels. Confidential space.
Non-partisan and story-based
Our work centers on human stories and nuance, not dictation or debate. The goal is understanding, not persuasion. Opening minds and hearts
- Lived experience first
- Customized programs
Structured with practical tools
Every conversation is supported by a clear framework, facilitator guidance, and reflection materials to ensure confidence. We use reflection prompts and acilitator guides
Engage. Educate. Empower.
