Technology and Jewish Life1,2

March 21, 2006 | Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld, Prof. Avraham Wyler
Technology continues to have a strong and specific impact on Jewish life. It has caused major social changes in various areas, such as the suburbanization of Jews, women's increased learning, and the possibility of participating in worldwide community activities. From a socio-halakhic viewpoint, technology influences Jews' choice of residence, has socialized and politicized kashrut certification, and has changed modes of Jewish study.
