Rabbi Staitman: Technological Advances

Join us Wednesday morning for Adult Education with…

Rabbi Mark Staitman

Rabbinic Scholar at Congregation Beth Shalom, Pittsburgh, PA

A variety of “technological advances” have appeared in the last two decades. We will look at three of these through the lenses of Jewish Law and Jewish Philosophy.  Over five weeks we will look at how Judaism responds to change today.

Session 4 & 5 – We will take a visit into the internet, both social media sites and the deep dark web. We will probe the implications of the loss of privacy and the loss of a sense of security.
