As the coronavirus moves through our communities, we may suffer from social isolation and financial hardship; we may face illness and even death. Even as we struggle with these heavy burdens, our tradition also requires shared empathy and solidarity with others, especially the most vulnerable among us. Here are several readings and resources that speak to these concerns:

The Jewish Imperative for Justice in the Face of Pandemic,
Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner, URJ Religious Action Center, March 17, 2020

Congress Must Protect the Vulnerable During This Public Health Emergency,
URJ Religious Action Center Legislative Director Allison Grossman, March 13, 2020

Remaining a K’hilah, a Connected Community, at This Time of Concern,
Rabbi Jonathan Biatch and Cantor Jacob Niemi, March 13, 2020
