Faith for the Far Away and Everyone Else
2017
Overview
IF THERE WERE any doubts among the faithful about the appropriate use of cameras to livestream services, celebrations and funerals to off-site congregants, those doubts were quickly dispelled at area synagogues by experiences like these: * A homebound grandmother, unable to travel from France to attend her granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah in Philadelphia, watches the entire celebration and sees both the granddaughter and rabbi turn to the camera and address her during the ceremony; * A local temple's \"Prayer for Our Country\" service honors, in real time, a serviceman and congregant deployed in the Middle East with a \"live\" salute by congregation veterans; * A young woman who works for the United States government and is unable to be home during the High Holidays rigs a bank of televisions at a national security agency with Temple Sholom in Broomall's livestream feed, and a group of Jewish employees gather together to watch it. Kids on college campuses are viewing it, parents with toddlers who can't find coverage for their children, seniors in their homes. Other concerns about the technology centered on whether livestreaming would reduce the number of congregants at Shabbat and other services, or replace the feeling of community invoked by worshipping together.
