Campaign Against Antisemitism's video: Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone Podcast Against Antisemitism S2 E9

Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone is at the cutting edge of the intersection of Jewish thought and technology, having launched projects such as Tech Tribe and NFTorah. He is also one of the key figures spearheading the social media of Chabad.org, the official website of the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement. In this episode, Rabbi Lightstone assesses the pluses and minuses of tech and describes his community’s response to the spike in antisemitism against identifiably Jewish people, from the deadly Crown Heights Riot of 1991 to today. _________________________________________________________________ Video contents: 00:00 - Intro 01:06 - Rebbe Sholom Dovber Schneersohn 04:26 - Chabad-Lubavitch outreach and social media 06:54 - Working for Chabad.org 09:33 - How should we tackle antisemitism on social media? 16:27 - Antisemitic attacks against Jews in New York 21:51 - The response to antisemitism from the Chasidic community 23:42 - The Crown Heights riot 33:35 - The aftermath of the riot 38:28 - The Tech Tribe 42:50 - NFTs and NFTorah 48:56 - Chasidic Jews’ approach to technology 52:58 - Advice to Jewish actors experiencing antisemitism 53:42 - Final words _________________________________________________________________ See other episodes of Podcast Against Antisemitism here: https://bit.ly/3GHnxPo Subscribe at antisemitism.org/podcast and send us your feedback to podcast@antisemitism.org.
