Title

Jewish Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A YIVO Institute for Jewish Research Questionnaire

Description

Collecting responses to questions about how the pandemic has affected Jewish practices and activities, as well as specific questions about the holidays of Passover and Shavuot. Participants are asked to contribute demographic details about age, location, and Jewish self-identification. Submission agreement requires granting permission to publish materials without identifying information. Although the form is in English, YIVO is collecting responses in any language from contributors living throughout the world. The project has been publicized on the institutional website; Jewish news outlets in New York, the United States, and Israel; and on social media. There is an interest in having YIVO collectors ask questions directly to an individual within a specific community (especially those unlikely, unwilling, or unable to respond online) when it is safe to do so.
