Jeffrey Schein - The Ten Commandments Of Managing Our Evolving Digital Selves
We live in a highly digital age.  At no time has the relationship between Judaism and Technology been all at once so rich, complex, enriching, and problematic. The synergies, creative tensions, and conflicts that come from the interplay of the digital global civilization and Judaism is a prime example of what Kaplan means by living in two civilizations. As well as traditional categories of Jewish ethics such as between a person and God, and a person and his fellow human beings, we need a NEW Jewish ethical vessel named “between a person and his/her technologies.” Rabbi Schein will explore practical aytzahs (ideas/suggestions) for infusing their relationships to technology with Jewish values.
