Current Issue: Volume 11, Issue 2 (2023) Jews Online: Exploring Digital Media Today
How do we best approach the study of “Jews Online”? Do we mean how and what Jews produce online? Are there uniquely Jewish forms of digital media? Is it about representations of Jews: by Jews themselves or by non-Jews? What forms does antisemitism take online, and how can we clearly understand and address it? In general terms, Jews are producers and consumers of digital media, contributing from the earliest years of the internet to the present day. Diverse Jews worldwide actively design and experience online content, from virtual communities and religious education to visual art and political rhetoric. Rather than offering a systematic history or overview, this special issue offers four glimpses into this rich and complex field of study, addressing via specific focuses and goals a sampling of commentary on the online experience of Jews, exploring both the problems and promises of digital media in today’s world.Introduction
