Content Creator Korin Gideon Advocates Disconnecting from Social Media on Shabbat for Mental Clarity

Israeli content creator Korin Gideon recently shared her decision to disconnect from social media during Shabbat, describing it as essential for mental well-being. Gideon, whose husband was raised in a Haredi family, explained in an Instagram video that taking a break from the constant online noise one day a week is a "gift for life." She emphasized that this practice is not religiously motivated but rather a way to avoid wasting time and missing out on family moments.

Gideon responded to a follower who adopted the practice after hearing about it from her, expressing amazement and encouraging others to try it for the sake of "mental sanity and bodily peace." During a Q&A session, she also addressed political questions, stating she identifies as center-right but had not yet decided whom to vote for in the upcoming elections, urging people to make informed choices.

The creator has previously spoken about the challenges of her political and cultural differences with her husband’s Haredi background, noting she is perceived as right-wing by her family and left-wing by his. She also responded publicly to criticism from a follower who unfollowed her over political disagreements, defending her right to express her views and support colleagues. Gideon concluded with a comment on the exhausting political climate, saying, "The elections will finish all of us."
