Author Description

An innovative thinker who applies classical Jewish texts to contemporary life questions, and a pioneer of the Jewish internet, Rabbi Gil Student has been exploring the big and small Jewish questions to wide acclaim. In Search Engine, he examines Jewish life in this era of social media and mobile technology through the lens of Jewish law, surveying topics in accessible and engaging ways, and offering depth and breadth to the novice and the expert. With the back-and-forth of proof and counterproof, early and late commentaries are brought to bear on both the what and why of contemporary issues.
