Hammer received when speaking with others about the Israeli-Palestinian problem led to The Dot on the I in History: On Gentiles and Jews—Scrolling the Internet with the goal of helping others better understand the problem. When the issues involve intertribal, interracial, interreligious, and international human relationships lasting over several generations, they often become so complex one does not see the forest for trees, unless one knows where and when the seeds were planted. That is what history is all about. This book aspires to explain what Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have in common, how they differ, and how they have evolved. You’ll also learn how the Internet has affected and changed those involved in the Middle East conflict. With this information, you will have a better understanding of the real reasons for such world-changing events as what took place on 9/11. %I Lulu Press %G eng %U https://books.google.com/books?id=63JGDwAAQBAJ&dq=Internet+and+Jews&lr=&source=gbs_navlinks_s %0 Generic %D 2004 %T Web of meanings: Dilemmatic aspects of ultra-orthodox Jewish women’s discourse concerning the Internet %A Oren Livio %A Keren Tenenboim %K GENDER %K internet %K Israeli society %K Jews %K Modernity %K Ultra-Orthodox Jewish %X Paper presented at Internet Research 5.0, University of Sussex, England. %G eng %U http://gsb.haifa.ac.il/~sheizaf/AOIR5/92.html %0 Journal Article %J Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies %D 1991 %T Religion and Views on Reproductive Technologies: A Comparative Study of Jews and Non-Jews %A Harriet L.

According to most Ultra-Orthodox Jewish leaders, media spread blasphemy, provoke gossip and slander, and steal time from religious studies, but Rabbi M. Schneerson, late leader of the Chabad movement, believed that the media should be exploited to spread the tenets of Judaism. Modern Orthodox rabbis generally favor limited access to media*filtering out its negative aspects, embracing its positive features, and using it to impart religious knowledge. Understanding these various attitudes may help media professionals deal with religion-based criticism and encourage media-borne moderate religious dialogue. %B Review of Communication %V 11 %P 20-38 %G English %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15358593.2010.504883#preview %N 1 %0 Book Section %B Digital Judaism: Jewish Negotiations with Digital Media and Culture %D 2015 %T On Pomegranates and Etrogs: Internet Filters as Practices of Media Ambivalence among National Religious Jews in Israel %A Rosenthal, M %A Ribak, R %K internet filters %K Israel %K Jews %K religious %X In the contemporary environment of media saturation, users are continually making choices about the types and kinds of media technologies to employ or avoid at different moments and places in their everyday lives. Some of these choices are based on simple technical or practical criterion (i.e., my smartphone is easy to access during my daily commute), while others are informed by a sense of decorum (i.e., one should not text during a funeral) or the idea that self-imposed limits of media use will lead to a more balanced lifestyle (i.e., no e-mail after work hours). Among such abundance, it is nearly impossible to be an early adopter or enthusiastic user of all media-users are constantly making choices (i.e., to text rather than telephone, to invest in a laptop but not in a smartphone, etc.), and through these choices they express ambivalence about certain media and enthusiasm about others. Users’ deliberations and discussions about these choices and practices are increasingly employed as identity markers (Hoover, Clark and Alters, 2004; Seiter, 2003). Media consumption and avoidance of specific contents or technologies are not only practical choices but also are expressions of identification with a specific class, ethnic, religious or spiritual community. %B Digital Judaism: Jewish Negotiations with Digital Media and Culture %I Routledge %C New York %P 145-160 %G eng %U https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781317817345/chapters/10.4324%2F9781315818597-13 %1 H.
