Did You Know?

We have spent lots of time this year talking about technology and how it relates to Judaism. Check out this fascinating YouTube video on the progression of information technology.



It is estimated that 4 exabytes of unique information will be generated this year. That is more than in the previous 5,000 years. Given that we think of the previous 5,000 years as having some meaning to Jews, think about how we understand this nugget and how we can use it to contemplate how we learn and how we will engage our tradition differently...in ways we can’t imagine now because they haven’t been imagined yet. No pressure, of course!

Feel free to leave answers to the above question (or your own questions!) in the comment section.
