"The Medium is the message" (Mcluhan, 1964) puts the evolution of  Jewish thought in an interesting light. As we went from Oral Torah to Written Torah, what changes can we expect as we move further and further to a digital interactive version of Torah? After looking at the "New Jerusalem Talumd" we will discuss possible directions.

          

"Teaching Jews in Cyberspace & Building learning communities" (English Panel)
How do we combine technology and the tools of today with creating stronger local / Web / global communities? What do those things mean and what can we expect of them? Here we will take a deeper look into learning  groups which are based on the use of  technology to connect people and thoughts.
