To Share or Not to Share: The Torah of Social Media
Course Details
While social media platforms have only been in existence for two decades, they raise moral questions that have been familiar to Jewish tradition for many centuries. Our course together will explore a wide range of ethical and legal concepts that touch on these questions. Rooting ourselves in Jewish texts, we’ll see firsthand how approaching these present-day social dilemmas through a lens of Jewish tradition can offer unique insights.
