This issue of Sh’ma puts a Jewish lens on the selfie trend of snapping photos of oneself and sending them out via social media. We also include essays exploring how much we insert ourselves or hold back when we are engaged in creative works such as writing, painting, and filmmaking. How much is one’s own self woven into the interpretation of text and the creation of a film, for example? What role do “subjectivity” and “objectivity” play?
