Throughout the centuries and around the world, Jewish communities have experienced many pandemics, including black death, bubonic plague, polio, smallpox, and measles. In this session, we explore how rabbis, physicians, and communal leaders confronted plagues of the past, and we find striking parallels to the issues we face today.
