The Most Valuable Thing AI Creates Isn’t Efficiency

When people talk about artificial intelligence, the conversation almost always starts with efficiency. How many hours will it save? How many tasks can it automate? How much faster can we work? They're reasonable questions. They're just not the most important ones. Over the past...

J Street welcomed Hasan Piker. That was a mistake

Say it ain't so. That was my first reaction to the news that J Street U — the campus organizing arm of J Street, run and staffed directly by the J Street Education Fund — co-sponsored this past weekend's College...

What Babka Taught Me About Belonging

I have a lot of chocolate babkas in my freezer. 13 to be exact. They’re all from my favorite place, Coffee Redefined, in Brooklyn. It takes me over two hours to get there and back, so I only make...

The Future of Work Is about Being More Human

For the past two centuries, we've measured progress by a familiar standard. How much faster can we work? The Industrial Revolution gave us machines. The computer gave us information.

What Will We Do With the Time?

Lately, I've noticed something interesting. Whether I'm meeting with a Jewish day school, a synagogue, a nonprofit, or a business, everyone seems to want the same thing. More time. Teachers want more time with students. Executive directors want more time to think strategically. Rabbis...

Why I Don’t Start with AI Anymore

Over the past year, nearly every meeting I walked into started with a question about technology. "What AI tool should we use?" Today, the conversations sound different. They're about exhausted teams.
