If Rashi had Facebook: Jewish Perspectives on Cancel Culture and Online Shaming

A virtual event taught by Rabbanit Karen Miller Jackson

ABOUT THIS EVENT: Social media is a powerful tool. It can be used for social activism or to connect us (especially when socially distanced). But it can also be used to spread hatred and negativity. As “shaming” and “cancel culture” become more prevalent, we will explore what relevant guidelines can be found in Jewish Law and Thought for these social challenges.

She develops educational content for Lookstein Virtual, blogs at TOI and also directs “Kivun le’Sherut,” a guidance program for religious high school girls before army and national service. She has an MA in Talmud and midrash from NYU and has learned in Drisha, Matan and Midreshet Lindenbaum. Karen is on the board of Kolech: Religious Women’s Forum.
