New Publication - Legitimation of New Media for Religious Youth - in Memory of Yaakov Don

 

I'm glad to share that I have a new publication. The study focuses on Rabbis who constitute the educational elite among the Zionist Religious community in Israel, and their approach towards new media.

This publication is very special to me, not only for its content, but as my co-author, Yaakov Don, was a student of mine that was tragically killed in a terrorist attack several years ago. Yaakov left a rich database which I used for this study and the paper is dedicated to his memory. He is survived by four wonderful kids, Aviad, Yedidya, Maor & Rachel and his inspiring widow, Sara Don. Sara has assisted in gathering supplemental information which supported the manuscript's publication in its review stages. I thank her, and my doctoral student, Akiva Berger, who knew Yaakov very well and supported this study from its start.
