Title
Lessons for the Pandemic (and after the Pandemic)
Description
This pandemic changed the entire world in the blink of an eye ‐ keheref ayin. And there are two sides to this coin. On the one hand, we now know that the world is deeply vulnerable to a fast and sudden change. On the other hand, we now also know that humans can adapt to change very quickly as well. Sadly, unless Maschiach comes, a post‐Covid19 world will still be riddled with a number of existential challenges that will continue to threaten life in this world as we know it. These demand drastic changes in human consumption and behavior. Before Covid19, we have resisted those changes because we failed to understand that the world can change in the blink of an eye ‐ keheref ayin. Before Covid19, we also resisted those changes because we failed to understand that humans can change their ways in the blink of an eye ‐ keheref ayin, as well. This pandemic has changed all that for now. For now.
