What Goes Around – Pandemics in Jewish History
March 31 @ 8:00 pm - 8:45 pm EDT
Join us for a discussion on how the Jewish community reacted to major plagues and epidemics throughout history.
This class offers a sweeping survey of major plagues and epidemics in Jewish history, from biblical, through Talmudic, to modern times, with a view of how our people have reacted to them.
Assembling advice, antidotes, and anecdotes relating to the practical, Halachic, and spiritual aspects of the plague, it considers how Jewish life has been historically disrupted by plague – and ultimately recovered from, and adapted to it.
