                                The project’s primary objective is to document the pandemic’s impact on communal Jewish life in the United States and Canada through items such as bulletins, announcements, rabbinic rulings, protocols, events, activities, and more from synagogues, schools, community centers, family units, businesses, and other entities. The focus is on the communal life of those who identify themselves as within the broad spectrum of Orthodox Judaism, with a particular interest in materials from underrepresented groups. Users may submit digital items such as images, documents, audiovisual materials, social media posts, and webpages to the jewishcovidarchive@gmail.com. This project is in collaboration with the Pandemic Religion collection.
