God, Jews and the media

By Yoel Cohen

Book Description

In our digitally connected world, understanding how faith intersects with modern media becomes essential for anyone exploring contemporary spiritual identity. This thoughtful examination reveals how Judaism navigates the complex landscape of mass communication, offering insights that extend far beyond any single religious tradition.

Drawing from communities across the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel, this scholarly work explores how traditional religious values encounter modern broadcasting, journalism, advertising, and internet culture. The author investigates pressing questions about media's role in shaping religious consciousness: How do sacred traditions adapt to secular media environments? What happens when ancient wisdom meets contemporary communication channels?

The book examines both religious and secular media outlets, analyzing how coverage affects community identity and the ongoing dialogue between traditional and modern perspectives. Special attention is given to Orthodox communities and their unique relationship with various forms of media, from print journalism to digital platforms.

Rather than offering simple answers, this work invites readers to consider how spiritual communities maintain their core values while engaging with an increasingly connected world. For those interested in the intersection of faith and modern life, this analysis provides valuable perspectives on how religious identity evolves within contemporary media culture.

This exploration will resonate with anyone curious about how spiritual traditions adapt to technological change while preserving their essential character.
