Rabbi Yishai Walis Discusses Parashat Eikev and AI Halachic Questions

In a recent discussion on Parashat Eikev, Rabbi Yishai Walis, a lecturer at the Values Institute, addressed several key questions posed by Shuki Salomon. They explored why the Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals) is linked to the commandment not to forget God, and why Moses reiterates the sin of the Golden Calf in this Torah portion. Additionally, the conversation touched on contemporary halachic issues arising from the use of artificial intelligence, examining how Jewish law approaches new technological challenges.

The dialogue aimed to deepen understanding of the parasha's themes while connecting them to modern ethical and legal questions. The session was recorded and made available for viewing, featuring insights from Rabbi Walis on both traditional texts and current dilemmas faced by the Jewish community.
