but what about the rabbinical wisdom?

Listen, I think one of the things we saw during the pandemic is the way that digital technology can aid our mourning process in a time of disconnection.

Thinking about the loneliness epidemic contributing to the way that we don't come together for rituals like Shiva after someone dies, we may no longer be connected socially in the way that earlier generations were.

The digital technology tools that we have enabled people to connect, to mourn together in community online during the pandemic when it wasn't safe to do so in person.

If we couldn't all come together for grandpa's funeral, we could still come together on Zoom to tell stories.

stories, to share memories, to at least see one another's faces, even if we lacked the physical touch or the energy that we might feel by being in a space together at the same time.

So I think there's definitely been a benefit to the way we mourn and the way we deal with death in terms of developments in technology.

Let me ask, because we have a little bit of time here, why do you think this is such a difficult topic for people to speak about?
