As we approach Tu BiShvat, the New Year for Trees, we traditionally look to the roots that sustain us. But in 2026, the most intensive growth on our planet will be found in the “silicon orchards” of data centers and artificial intelligence. How do we ensure that as our world gets smarter, our lives do not become less sacred?
In this episode of Jewish Insights, host Justin Pines sits down with Rabbanit Sara Wolkenfeld of Sefaria to explore the profound intersection of Torah and technology. From the democratizing power of the digital library to the ancient Talmudic warnings about social media, we examine what it means to remain rooted in the values of Sinai while building a world of code.

Join us for a sophisticated look at how Jewish ethics provides the ultimate operating system for the future.
