Although Covid-19 has brought with it so many surreal disruptions to regular life, it is hardly the first of its kind. Join Rabbi Blum as he takes a sweeping survey of major plagues and epidemics in Jewish history, from biblical, through Talmudic, to modern times, with a view to how the Jewish people have reacted to them. Assembling advice, antidotes, and anecdota 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.
