We are wired for connection, human beings as much as you said, and I agree with you that to some extent we don't need it. My theory is that there's something different about social media that never existed before.
Have you ever wondered how social media affects our ability to truly connect with others? In this episode of 'BrainStorm with Sony Perlman', Sony sits down with his long-time friend Rabbi Shmuel Skaist to explore this very topic. Rabbi Skaist, a seasoned educator and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, shares his unique insights on the role of community and religion in fostering genuine human connections.
With over 35 years of experience teaching Torah and engaging in outreach across the US and Israel, Rabbi Skaist brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. They dive into the challenges posed by social media, discussing how it has made connecting easier yet simultaneously diluted the quality of our interactions. Rabbi Skaist emphasizes that while digital platforms have their place, nothing can replace the depth of face-to-face connections.
He shares his personal experiences with spiritual abuse, shedding light on the darker side of religious manipulation and the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries. The episode also touches on the significance of community in replenishing ourselves emotionally and spiritually. Rabbi Skaist highlights how a community that embraces pure Vuh, the first mitzvah in the Torah, can help individuals maintain their emotional well-being.
The discussion extends to the complexities of maintaining healthy relationships in today's fast-paced world, offering practical advice on navigating differences and managing conflicts. Sony and Rabbi Skaist's engaging conversation is filled with thought-provoking ideas and heartfelt anecdotes, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the dynamics of human connection.
