Over the last year, to varying degrees, we have all experienced the unnatural feeling of not being able to connect with others. Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a fellow of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and Association for Psychological Science, cites research suggesting that the immediate effects of social isolation related to the pandemic have already been observed. There have been surges in mental health concerns, substance abuse and domestic violence. Preliminary surveys suggest that even within the first month of COVID-19, loneliness increased from 20% to 30%, and emotional distress tripled. This is not surprising as we learn in the Torah, “It is not good for man to be alone.” (Genesis 2:18). As Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, zt”l, said in his book “Morality,” “The human condition is overwhelmingly about relationships.” ....
Many of us are guilty of whipping out our smartphone to capture a memorable moment, like visiting a famous historical monument or a stunning piece of art. But scientists say photos can actually impair our memory of events, by making us focus on the act of picture-taking rather the moment itself.

Many people take photos as a way of preserving important moments in their life, but the study suggests this doesn t actually work. Live in the moment: Taking photos can actually impair your memory, according to the study by two experts at Binghamton University. Pictured, a smartphone user takes a photo of the remains of the Berlin Wall ....
Social Studies: Less is more, subtle prejudice, and the height of power By Kevin LewisUpdated April 20, 2021, 3:16 p.m. Email to a Friend Mister surgeon In a classic riddle, a father and son are in a car accident in which the father is killed and the son goes into surgery, but the surgeon says, âI canât operate â that boy is my son!â How is that so? A study out of Boston University found that only 30 percent of college students who hadnât heard the riddle before came up with the answer: The surgeon was the boyâs mother. The figure was especially striking because respondents were allowed to offer more than one guess. Higher percentages of students suggested the surgeon was an adoptive father, a same-sex father, or a stepfather. Female students were more likely to give the mother answer. But respondents, female or male, werenât substantially more likely to offer the mother answer if they had working mothers, knew female doctors, ....
Apr 18, 2021 The birds are chirping, a warm breeze is blowing and some of your friends are getting vaccinated. After a year of anxiety and stress, many of us are rediscovering what optimism feels like. And the good news about an increase in available vaccines could not come at a more joyous time. Spring is the season of optimism. With it comes more natural light and warm weather, both great mood boosters, and some of our most hopeful religious holidays: Easter, Passover, the Hindu festival of Holi and Nowruz, the Persian new year that celebrates springtime and renewal. But if you’re expecting your happiness to skyrocket the moment we finish off this pandemic once and for all, think again. ....
