Caught between two worlds i.c.u.8/18/2023 ![]() Rabbi Menachem Nissel has been teaching in yeshivos and seminaries in Yerushalayim for over 30 years and is the author of Rigshei Lev: Women & Tefillah. Can I have one without destroying the other? There’s the ideal one in my mind - the type of life I desperately want for myself, and the way I envision my future home - and the practical one, where so much of my daily life revolves around the Internet. My future job is going to come hand in hand with Internet education, and I need to learn how to live with it. I struggle with my use of the Internet in general. I want to get rid of it so badly, but I need it professionally (and the medical geek part of me wants it too, because I love medical videos). At least in the beginning, I’ll be reliant on it in any new job I take (new nurses are nowhere near experts). I try to tell myself that when I finish school, I’ll completely block it, but I realize that’s not realistic. I’ve installed a really good filter, but I find that although I’m not logging into anything “bad,” I waste a horrible amount of time watching innocuous things. The medical and nursing education videos on the site have literally helped me pass my courses, and I’ve been told that such technical support is crucial to continue to succeed in my schooling. I’m a single girl in nursing school, and I need YouTube for school I wouldn’t have gotten this far without it. I ’ve been feeling pretty stuck recently. Can I find a balance between my Internet usage and my ideals?
