Education and Technology in Jewish Education (S3, E14)

In this episode of Judaism in the 21st Century, Steven Labkoff and Rabbi Daniel Cohen explore how Jewish learning is evolving in an age of technology and AI. From ancient oral tradition to digital libraries, podcasts, and tools like ChatGPT, they ask a timely question: how do we use new technologies to deepen Jewish life without losing critical thinking, reflection, or soul?The conversation weaves together personal stories, Torah study, Shabbat as a counterbalance to constant connectivity, and the responsibility of educators to meet each generation where they are. This episode is not about replacing tradition, but about elevating it, using today’s tools thoughtfully to educate, inspire, and bring more meaning into our lives.
