Over the course of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we were forced to make numerous changes, acting quickly to adapt to the emergency thrust upon us. Even as we deal with new variants, we trust that we will, God willing, emerge from this pandemic and need to confront the changes we have made and decide how they impact our future practice. During these six sessions we studied portions of several decisions made by the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards in the past and more closely at the Teshuvot (responses) issued during the Pandemic. Throughout our studies, we considered how to apply these teshuvot at Tikvat Israel for the future.
