Sinai and Synapses and The Forward are bringing together leading voices in Jewish thought, technology, and ethics to explore one of today’s most pressing questions: What might a distinctly Jewish approach to artificial intelligence look like?
As AI becomes increasingly woven into everyday life, Jewish tradition offers a rich framework for thinking about ethics, responsibility, and what it means to be human. This timely conversation will explore how Jewish wisdom can help shape our engagement with emerging technologies while asking what AI reveals about ourselves, our communities, and our future.
On Wednesday, August 5, at 7:00 p.m. ET, Forward reporter Louis Keene will moderate a discussion featuring Rabbi Geoffrey A. Mitelman, Founding Director of Sinai and Synapses; Dr. DZ Kalman, Sinai and Synapses advisor and host of Belief in the Future; and Rabbanit Sara Wolkenfeld, Chief Learning Officer at Sefaria and a member of Sinai and Synapses’ Jewish Thought and Jewish Education for the Digital Future working group.
Together, they’ll explore how Jewish tradition can inform conversations about artificial intelligence, the opportunities and challenges AI presents for Jewish life, and how we can thoughtfully navigate this rapidly changing technological landscape. We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and timely discussion.
