Rabbi Shais Taub joins the podcast to dig into the loneliness epidemic; why we're more "connected" than ever and lonelier than ever at the same time. The conversation covers the disappearance of third places, why social media works like salt water for a real human need, and Rabbi Taub's own experience of being forced into community through losing a parent despite being, by his own admission, a natural introvert. Rather than treating connection as a numbers problem, Rabbi Taub makes the case for physical presence, real-time commitment, and simply showing up as the actual cure for disconnection.
