How to bridge class differences when studying social justice together

My study partner and I are learning about Jewish approaches to economic justice but we come from completely different class backgrounds and when we try to apply these teachings to real policy questions we keep talking past each other. The texts feel abstract when our lived experiences are so different.

More people experience this than they realize.

Shared learning about justice becomes complicated when partners' lived experiences create fundamentally different understandings of the problems being addressed.
