During the pandemic Jewish worship has been completely altered. Rabbi @AmichaiLauLavie argues that Judaism is evolving once again, and explains why screens in sacred spaces are here to stay. https://forward.com/opinion/445674/judaism-is-evolving-sacred-life-on-screen-is-here-to-stay/">https://forward.com/opinion/4...
A result of Jewish worship moving online is Jews being exposed to the full breadth of Jewish life. That includes growing inclusion for LGBTQ Jews in some unexpected places. There& #39;s no going back and that& #39;s a good thing, writes @AbbyChavaStein. https://forward.com/opinion/445720/after-corona-covid-has-exploded-jewish-lgbtq-acceptance-online-theres-no/">https://forward.com/opinion/4...
What do we owe each other? What does Kol yisrael aravim ze baze — all of Israel is responsible for one another mean during a pandemic? @SarahAWildman draws upon Jewish tradition as a model for guiding us through this crisis. https://forward.com/opinion/445670/a-wakeup-call-you-are-your-brothers-keeper/">https://forward.com/opinion/4...

(A personal note on this front: with some friends we started a small weekly chabura - study group - and I have never had a better time reading and debating Jewish text)
With the shift online comes a change in our relationships to our shuls and communal organizations. @temasmith argues that for those engaging, that relationship is becoming more intimate as we connect with each other from the comfort of our homes. https://forward.com/opinion/445722/fewer-barriers-more-intimacy/">https://forward.com/opinion/4...
My editor @bungarsargon posed to me the question of how COVID will change the Russian-Jewish community. In true Russian-Jewish spirit, I did not answer her question and instead asked my own. https://forward.com/opinion/445748/after-corona-russian-jews-have-been-preparing-for-this-crisis-our-whole/">https://forward.com/opinion/4...
