Megilat Esther: Constant Connection by Rabbi Avi Harari

For now we will be exploring the idea of תפילה בעת צרה prayer in times of distress, in the merit of our Kedoshim, captives and soldiers. May Hashem heal the wounded, free the captives and lead our soldiers to a swift and painless victory. #jew #jewish #torah #torahfortoughtimes #rabbiroodyn #bringthemhome #rabbi #torahanytime #Judaism #Israel #shiur #responsetotragictimes

Sermon Notes Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ And he said, "The Son of Man (Jesus) must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God." Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Prayer and breakthrough go hand-in-hand. Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Moses is the great leader and prophet who brought the Law. Elijah was the great prophet who represented all other prophets. Those who die with faith in Jesus are very much alive right now. John‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;" Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭32‬-‭33‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)" Prayer is often needed most when you are most weary. Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭34‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭35‬-‭36‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen. The breakthrough you are looking for comes from a constant connection to God in prayer. Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer."

Pastor Dan closed our series 'How To Know God' by looking at Jesus' words in John 15. Dan challenged us to examine our lives for: 1. The Right Source, 2. The Desired Fruit, 3. A Constant Connection.

In honor of the great celebration  of Lag B'Omer, the yarhzeit of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai here is the story of the final day of Rebbe Shimon in this world. In his final discourse he reveals, in my opinion, the secret of his magnetism and the key to inner peace and joy

By now, even if you're not super well-versed in the terminology of Web3, you've probably encountered some of the conversation around its relationship with community. Like with any innovation or change in technology, there can and should be conversations about how Web3 will empower communities. However, we should also ask questions and think about how such change will impact communities, whether they embrace Web3 or not. For example, as Patrick and our guest, staff writer with The New Republic, Jacob Silverman discuss, NFTs may be empowering some artists, but for the DeviantArt community, it's another way that they're seeing their art exploited. And even for NFTs that are becoming ubiquitous, like Bored Apes Yacht Club, how much of the conversation or credit is given back to the artists? This conversation will give you a great primer on Web3 terminology, but perhaps more importantly, it will equip you with questions and examples to understand the true role of community in the current iteration of Web3. Jacob and Patrick also discuss: The basics of Web3, including cryptocurrency, NFTs, and DAOs Reasons why Web3 may not be as egalitarian as it seems Why celebrity cryptocurrency clubs of today may not have the same permanence as online fan clubs that already exist Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it's only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Hivebrite, the community engagement platform. Big Quotes Misuse of community in Web3 (1:35): “In Web3 … there's a lot of use of this idea of community, but honestly, I find it's often disingenuous when it's coming from say a DAO that controls $300 million dollars worth of cryptocurrency or a crypto startup that has a lot of venture capitalist financing, and it has its own crypto token and an exchange. There's just this appeal to this idea of community within Web3 that, if it were coming from a more traditional corporate setting, would ring very false to people.” –@SilvermanJacob Disguising Web3 under the term “community” may get people to look past the risks (4:24): “[The use of ‘community' in Web3] obscures the idea that these are, first and foremost, financial relationships, that there's a lot of risk involved, and that the power relations may not be as egalitarian as the word ‘community' implies.” –@SilvermanJacob The supposed Bored Ape Yacht Club community (4:58): “[Bored Ape Yacht Club] is a billion-dollar company that employs several dozen people, is very well connected in Hollywood, whose own financial transactions and behaviors deserve some scrutiny. … If you just call it a community, you're not going to really think about that. You're not going to think about where are the conflicts of interests, who's driving these markets, and what kind of power do I have as a member of the supposed community?” –@SilvermanJacob What protections will Web3 offer for artists? (11:24): “OpenSea, for example, does not seem to be built to support artists and incentivize the small craftsmen type. Instead, OpenSea is meant to attract as many people as possible to mint NFTs, and it has very few guards against copyright theft.” –@SilvermanJacob The utility of NFTs (45:00): “Maybe the utility of [NFTs] will grow, but right now you're buying into a very hollow idea of community and connection for the promise of future rewards. Whether those rewards will even be worth it is an open question.” –@SilvermanJacob The potential impermanence of NFTs (47:32): “There's going to be some equivalent of link rot with NFTs and with some of these online communities. They're going to break apart. They're not going to be necessarily sustainable or haven't proven themselves sustainable over the long haul, whereas the Dave Matthews Band message board that my college roommate used to post on is probably still around.” –@SilvermanJacob About Jacob Silverman Jacob Silverman is a staff writer with The New Republic. He's the author of Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection, and is currently working on a book with Ben McKenzie about crypto and fraud.

Each chapter of 3 Books uncovers and discusses the three most formative books from one of the world's most inspiring people.

Each of the 333 chapters is dropped on the exact minute of every new moon and full moon until September 1, 2031. 3 Books is an Apple "Best Of" award-winning show as well as the world's only podcast by and for book lovers, writers, makers, sellers... and librarians. For more info check out: www.3books.co   Michael Harris is the bestselling author of The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We’ve Lost in a World of Constant Connection, which won the 2014 Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction, and his latest book, Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World. Harris is a former staff editor for Vancouver Magazine and Western Living, and his writing has also appeared in Wired, Huffington Post, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, and The Walrus. He has been nominated for both the Western Magazine Awards and the National Magazine Awards for his writing. Michael lives with his husband in Vancouver, Canada.   Chapter Description: Loneliness rates have doubled since the 1980s and Vivek Murthy, former US Surgeon General, says loneliness will be the next major epidemic. So if loneliness is being alone and sad … then what’s being alone and happy? Solitude. Last year, I picked up an incredible book called Solitude by Michael Harris, bestselling author and winner of the Governor General's Award for his writing. It completely blew me away. Why? Because in our era of endless machine-gun blasts at our brains, I feel strongly that the ability to be alone, and to be alone well, is a muscle that is quickly atrophying. Michael shares why we need to develop the strength and capacity to live and be by ourselves and how exactly we go about cultivating a rich interior life. I think after this conversation you’ll agree the benefits are enormous and this true “strength of mind” is a crucial aspect of living an intentional life. For Chapter 29 of 3 Books, I flew to Michael’s home in Vancouver, BC. We discuss: How do we cultivate the area between wakefulness and sleep? What does a healthy media diet look like? Why shouldn’t you talk about anything serious over texts? And how do parents and children navigate the conversation about coming out of the closet? Welcome to Chapter 29 with Michael Harris.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What’s the difference between solitude and loneliness? How do you find love and intimacy in a world of pornography? How can we help children become more self-sufficient? Why can’t you improve your connection with other people until you improve your connection with yourself? How can you prime your brain for creativity? How can we learn to live more intentionally? What is the gateway to help people get into different genres of books? Why is it important to invite ‘weirdness’ into our cultural consumption? Why should you never trust Netflix’s recommendations? How can we avoid miscommunication with people online? Should any books be banned from children, and should we censor content from kids? Leave us a voicemail! Your message may be included in a future episode: 1-833-READ-A-LOT.

Dr. Edith Bone was released in 1956 after seven years of solitary confinement, and her story started Michael Harris’ journey into exploring and practicing solitude. As he read her memoir , he realized that there was “a certain art to being alone that she had practiced…I wanted to learn how to practice solitude in the same way.” Michael is a widely published author who writes about a broad range of topics. His books include The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We've Lost in a World of Constant Connection and Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World .

You’re listening to Episode 43 of the Bright Planning Marketing Podcast with your hostess Catherine Campbell and her producer, Jason Pyles. During this episode, we discuss the ways in which social media’s capacity for constant connection affect business. For instance, we talk about the importance of paying attention to what people are saying about your brand on social media, without taking it too much to heart and running the risk of letting your audience hijack your brand story. In this episode, we talk about how to enjoy more personalized and meaningful interactions with your customer base through social media. We talk about how social media is shifting the traditional methods for providing customer service. You will hear us examine what is expected from businesses as they interact with their customers on social media. And this leads to a discussion of “chat bots” or automated messaging. We talk about how you can reduce the amount of time that you’re spending on social media. We also discuss how social media ads will never be less expensive than they are right now. We hope you will join us for this episode! “I actually very rarely contact businesses through social media. If I have a great experience as a consumer, I might tag that business in a status update, but I typically don’t contact them through their Facebook business page or through Twitter.” We want to hear your thoughts, reviews and more questions!

With us today we have Michael Harris, author of “The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We’ve Lose in a World of Constant Connection”. This book has been quite the read as it brought into light exactly how much of our lives we are wasting away staring at our phone screens, our ipads, our laptops, etc., instead of spending quality time with people we truly care about and instead of spending quality time alone. It’s very true that some people just don’t know how to spend time alone. Why is it that we are always seeking constant communication and seeking constant connection? Are we more attached to our phones than to people? Tune in!

Author Jacob Silverman talks about his new book, 'Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection.' Next, Will Evans, the founder of Dallas indie publisher Deep Vellum is here to talk about what’s next with his growing literary arts powerhouse. Finally, we all went to The McKinney Avenue Contemporary (MAC) Saturday night to see Kitchen Dog Theater’s new play, 'The Firestorm.' We’ll go one-on-one — or, three-on-one — with the play’s director, Tina Parker. She’ll also tell us about her longtime work with Kitchen Dog and the group’s big upcoming move. Oh yes, and her role on that little TV series called 'Breaking Bad.'

I'm pleased to post Show # 239, June 3, my interview with Jacob Silverman, author of Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection. Jacob has written an insightful critique of the costs associated with information socialization and sharing. [Note: as a contracts professor, I should point out that this book does not use "terms of service" (end-user license agreements and the like) as we might in first-year Contracts]. Focusing on the meaning of status, visibility and followers, Jacob runs through a range of concerns surrounding social media, including sentiment analysis, privacy and "dataveillance." We probed several areas in our discussion, from the meaning of the monicker "Luddite" to whether technology is, in fact, neutral. I greatly enjoyed the interview. {Hearsay Culture is a talk show on KZSU-FM, Stanford, 90.1 FM, hosted by Center for Internet & Society Resident Fellow David S. Levine.

There once was a time before the internet, before the automobile, before air conditioning, and television and radio and even before the printing press.  All these inventions and many others, dramatically transformed the ways in which we live.  At the time each was criticized for the ruinous impact it would have.  The printing press was thought to be the end of religion, air conditioning would keep us inside, and not allow us to connect with others. The automobile would destroy community and  television would pollute our brains.The fact is that each of these inventions changed us and changed the way we lived.  And the result was not good or bad.  It was just different.  It was all part of the process of human evolution.  Ever since man first emerged from the cave, we have been engaged in an ongoing effort to try and shape and define  our man made environment, just  as it continues to try shape and define us.  Michael Harris thinks we need to reclaim some of that lost world. He details his ideas in The End of Absence: Reclaiming What Weve Lost in a World of Constant Connection.My conversation with Michael Harris:
