“The book's
wonderful synthesis between spirituality and technology, heaven and earth, is
exciting and thought-provoking. It is a practical demonstration of Solomon's
wisdom: "Acknowledge God in all your paths." Alexenberg's affirmation of the spiritual
potential of the Internet, blogging, photography, new technologies and social
media, brings to mind the dictum of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Chief
Rabbi of pre-state Israel: "The old will be renewed, and the new will be
sanctified." - Rabbi
