A new episode featuring Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, and his son Mendel has been released on the “Menorah” YouTube channel. It is dedicated to a topic that concerns many today – loneliness in a world of external well-being and constant online presence.
In this video, the rabbi reflects on why, in the age of social media, instant messages, and endless scrolling, a person increasingly finds themselves alone with inner emptiness, even if they have family, work, and success nearby. Special attention in the episode is given to how dependence on gadgets destroys live communication and deprives us of deep, truly human connections. Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki explains why loneliness often becomes a cause of depression and loss of meaning, yet at the same time can transform into a point of spiritual growth.
The conversation raises difficult but very important questions: why precisely pain, illness, and loss often lead a person to faith; where to find the feeling of Hashem’s presence during difficult periods of life; and how to restore connection – with oneself, with loved ones, and with the world. The video is filled with practical advice based on Jewish tradition: Shabbos as a spiritual detox, the power of sincere conversation, support in moments of mourning, and the path to inner strength through Torah, prayer, and good deeds.
This episode is addressed to everyone who feels loneliness and is searching for a way back to warmth, meaning, and genuine connection. The new episode is now available on the “Menorah” YouTube channel. Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments – let’s continue this important conversation together.
