Lessons for the Pandemic (and after the Pandemic) Rosh Hashanah 5781

Natural disasters and human catastrophes

Poverty, Financial Struggle, and Shortage

M3: Political agenda (for or against): politicians and current political debates

Universality of the pandemic

The lines that separate countries, communities, and people can easily collapse, and consequently, the demands of empathy and the standards of mutual responsibility have increased significantly.    This insight bears important theological, political, and halakhic ramifications.    The global lessons which we have not yet really internalized should profoundly impact our thinking about global warming, poverty in our own neighborhood communities, racial tensions and injustice, and treatable diseases in the developing world.    Our narrow theology should change.  Our national politics should change. Our global giving should change.
