What is the next chapter in Judaism's story, the next step in its
journey? The dramatic changes of recent decades invite us to
explore what role Judaism is to play in this new era. As the
digital future becomes the present, Danny Schiff makes the case
that the period known as "modernity" has come to an end. Noting the
declining strength of Conservative and Reform Judaism, the largest
US Jewish movements of modernity, he argues for new iterations of
Judaism to arise in response to the myriad of weighty questions
that now confront us about what it means to be human. Here is an
account of the digital age through a Jewish lens, in which Schiff
examines Jewish teachings and traditions, exploring what moral
insight they might have to offer in this period of great flux. He
marshals the thought of well-known futurists such as Ray Kurzweil
and Yuval Noah Harari to forecast the exponentially larger shifts
in the human condition that lie ahead, and proposes that a
countercultural Judaism could have renewed relevance in addressing
some of the pressing issues that confront humanity in the
twenty-first century.
