Oy Vey! A Pandemic!: Documenting the Jewish Response to COVID-19

Location: MNjcc Zoom Meeting

Description:

Presented in partnership with Ontario Jewish Archives, Blankenstein Family Heritage Centre 

Typically, archives collect materials after historical events have occurred. However, as the pandemic unfolded, the OJA began to proactively document the community’s response. Join us for a panel discussion exploring the resulting collection that will illuminate this unprecedented time for the future. 

About The Panelists: 

Josh Tapper is a doctoral candidate in Jewish History at Stanford University and is leading the initiative Toronto Jewry and the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Oral History Project. Michael Friesen is an archivist who has worked at the OJA since 2017. Managing Director of the OJA, Donna Bernardo-Ceriz has been an archivist with the OJA since 2006 and initiated the COVID-19 Documentation Project in spring of 2020. OJA and Neuberger Executive Director Dara Solomon will moderate the conversation.
