Rabbi Jeffrey Schein will discuss via Zoom the relationship between Jewish values and digital technology on Saturday February 6th at 10:30a at Bnai Keshet in Montclair. His talk, “The Ten Commandments of Managing Our Evolving Digital Selves,” is open to all free of charge. For Zoom link https://www.bnaikeshet.org/event/kaplan-minyan18.html
Schein has long explored the need for people to “pull out of the digital waters that constantly envelop us” and use Jewish values to “filter and filtrate our digital lives” –a need that has only been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
“We live in a highly digital age,” Schein said. “At no time has the relationship between Judaism and technology been all at once so rich, complex, enriching, and problematic”. Schein will explore practical suggestions for infusing human relationships to technology with Jewish values.
