Couple Gets Married by Computerized Minister: Technology ...
I love using technology in ways that help us achieve the mission and vision of our congregation and community. I often say that we don’t use technology for its own sake. We don’t have an online congregation, a Facebook page, or video streamed Shabbat and High Holiday services just because technology exists to make these things possible. We use technology because it helps us create community and share our contemporary Jewish voice and philosophy – and of course, it allows us to hear from you which we also love.
So, this CNN video caught my attention – a computerized minister officiating at a wedding.
I totally support this couple’s choice to have their wedding the way they want, and I think it is cool that they created a ceremony that is authentically them. That said, I am not convinced that computerized ministers and computerized rabbis are the wave of the future.
I think there’s real value in human interaction – whether that’s face-to-face or mediated by technology. And I think rabbis and other clergy add value to weddings not just because we officiate the ceremony itself, but because we also meet with and get to know the couple in advance. It’s nice to participate in weddings as a rabbi and to be able to personalize the ceremony with the couple. As clergy, we can focus on the people present – and in this area, the computerized minister seemed to fail.
I’m curious to hear all of your thoughts on this.
