The Torah of Social Media
by Rabbi Avram Mlotek LMSW
In a world where TikTok trends go viral before Shabbat candles are lit and Instagram reels shape public opinion faster than a breaking news alert, where does ancient Torah wisdom find its voice?
In The Torah of Social Media, Rabbi Avram Mlotek curates a provocative and soulstirring collection of over two dozen essays, poems, and reflections from leading rabbis, Jewish creators, and cultural thinkers whose lives and messages unfold in pixels and posts. Together, they explore the spiritual, ethical, and communal implications of living Jewishly in an age of tweets, trolls, and tensecond Torahs.
From the sanctity of a viral mitzvah to the perils of cancel culture, from digital identity to online activism, the essays dive into the sacred tension between permanence and ephemerality, tradition and technology, humility and a hashtag.
Whether you're a rabbi with a ring light, a content creator with a conscience, or simply someone navigating your Jewish identity in the everscrolling now, The Torah of Social Media offers wisdom, wit, and wonder for the screenbound soul.
