The Jews Were Internauts

Exploring the interplay between the Jewish myth of the "people of the Book" and the wanderer, this work delves into ancient concepts of virtual reality through Jewish mystical teachings. It examines how the longest exile in history influenced innovative perspectives on connection and space. The author draws parallels between modern technology, such as the Internet, and rabbinic strategies for fostering community despite physical dislocation, introducing the idea of "Jumping the Path" as a metaphor for bridging disparate places.
