Excellent paper, what you recommend is what differentiate jewish identity from Islam or communism, which also makes it more interesting and challenging. This is the real meaning of diversity.
I agree with everything Jill Grunewald writes below. No other comment needed. Thanks Vanessa!

The word you need here is Empathy: Seeing and indeed feeling the other person-interlocutorโs view, whilst holding oneโs own, that is to say without necessarily giving oneโs own position up. This discussion may be at first through a conversation about ideas, then as closeness grows the bond becomes more felt and emotional. Empathy is not to be confused with sympathy which is simply โshared feelingโ. If sympathy comes first without the critical faculties, such emotion can quickly be misinterpreted as betrayal and indeed anger, as positions diverge. Start with Empathy, to avoid disappointments.

What is missing is leadership to create the unity you very clearly wrote about.
