Title
A Journal of the Plague Year: Jewish Melbourne
Description
This project is interested in the ways that the lives of individuals and families have been affected, the disruptions and adaptations to the daily and weekly cycles of Jewish life, the impact on schools and community organisations, educational and cultural programming, and on the celebration of Jewish holidays and memorial days. It is looking to collect both artifacts and personal reflections through voluntary submissions. The types of artifacts requested include: photographs and videos; social media posts and memes; ads for, links to, and videos of community events; running sheets or any behind-the-scenes materials for holding events; emails, texts, or articles related to Jewish events. The prompts for personal reflections to submit include writing about how COVID has affected Jewish holiday observances and the adaptations that have been made to Jewish practice. There is an online portal for submissions and the contributions are reviewed and published by a curatorial/research team at the ACJC.
