A fresh podcast and more
  • In this special work-from-home edition of The Canadian Jewish Shmooze podcast, Michael and Alex discuss how COVID-19 has affected religious and artistic Jewish institutions.
     
  • With synagogues closed due to the coronavirus, and funerals and shivahs restricted due to social distancing, a look at how Jewish tradition is having to adapt.
     
  • More of the religious Jewish challenges and responses to the coronavirus are probed in the latest digital column by Mark Mietkiewicz.
     
  • Hoarding in the time of COVID-19—rather than problems with the supply chain—is to blame for any claims of kosher food shortages.
     
  • The longterm visitor ban at public long-term care institutions and seniors’ residences in Quebec is causing its share of distress. Meanwhile, the Jewish schools in Montreal have turned to distance learning.

Israeli mom Shiri Keningsberg Levi filmed a rant to remember forever about the challenges of being expected to supervise the homeschooling of her four children. 
The bride who stayed home
Comments on this video identify it as a Jewish wedding that forged ahead on Viewmount Avenue in Toronto, with celebrants who practiced social distancing from their porches and next to their cars, while the bride teared up at the reception. The clip circulated further thanks to a Toronto Facebook group: Kavod-19
Stay safe, everyone! Shabbat Shalom from CJN TODAY.
