I’ve just finished my weekly Zoom “infusion.” Every week, my daughters and daughters-in-law—along with whichever children are home and awake—gather around their phones or computers, and we learn together. We began this five years ago in my mother’s merit, and it has since become a truly special part of my week.

Of course, we do learn. But truthfully, we spend even more time chattering, catching up, seeing one another, and simply connecting.

These days, people often speak negatively about the impact of technology—how it has damaged relationships, how people spend too much time on their phones and computers, and not enough time truly listening or connecting with one another.
But for me, technology—phones in particular—has been a lifeline.
Through it, I stay close to my family. They send pictures and messages. I get to watch them walk, talk, and play. We learn together, laugh and cry together, worry, advise, and share our lives with one another.

When I read my weekly report of how many hours I’ve spent each day on WhatsApp, I find myself smiling. To me, those hours represent something deeply meaningful: connection.

B”H!
Have a good month
