Share Your Experience

What are we looking for? Consider how your life and that of your community has changed—social distancing, face masks (kippas as facemasks), virtual learning, family celebrations on Zoom, empty streets, artists painting on storefronts. Contribute whatever captures your experience of this time, or contribute what you have observed about religion in this moment. You can submit documents, videos, images, links, or other materials that will help preserve your memories and experiences. You can also write a personal reflection. We welcome your contribution to interpreting this difficult time.
