Resetting the Table (RTT) is a political mediation organization. RTT uses a transformative mediation methodology to help participants discuss contentious issues, and to teach them to lead discussions about these issues by seeking to listen to and understand other viewpoints.
History
Resetting the Table was co-founded by Melissa Weintraub, a rabbi and previously founding director of Encounter, a Jewish organization that creates educational programs and experiences to enhance the understanding of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict for Jewish Americans, and Eyal Rabinovitch, former sociology professor at Wesleyan University. Created with seed funding from UJA-Federation of New York, RTT was established as an independent organization in 2014.
