Tech Talk

Hardcover 6" x 9" 160 Pages Written by: Aliza Feder Published by: Israel Bookshop Publications Rochel  When I think back to my childhood, I remember my mother standing by the kitchen counter making supper with the phone cradled in her neck.

And I think back to that every so often as I text during davening. I know I'm not as vigilant as I should be these days. I don't have any good justification here; it's just too easy when you hear that ping to look down and then fall into the habit...     Hash tags and apps and emojis and
