Online Jewish Resources for Shelter-in-Place

April 5, 2020 by Gillian Jackson Leave a Comment

I cannot be the only person who spends way too much time online reading headline after headline about COVID-19. It is exhausting and mentally taxing to contemplate at length something as overwhelming as a global pandemic. In an effort to steer you away from the headlines and closer to an intellectually stimulating diversion, we have compiled a list of interesting Jewish programming available online in the coming weeks. Enjoy!

For Adults:

  • Mechon Hadar has many online resources and is holding daily Mishnah groups for adults.
  • Join the Jewish Response Against COVID-19 group. The page features many links to Jewish learning and activism.
  • 929.org is hosting a daily learning activity with a new chapter of the Tanakh each day.
  • On Drisha, explore the Annual Rapoport Family Memorial Lecture Series and the Renee and Alexander Bohm Memorial Lecture Series.
  • Listen to Daf Yomi Online Podcasts, a series that inspires women to learn Talmud.
  • Take an online tour of the Jewish Museum of New York.
  • Watch a Yiddish Theater production.

For Families with Children:

  • VBS preschool has created resources, stories, videos, and a schedule to help you keep your little ones busy. This website is regularly updated with new content.
  • The Jewish Education Project Early Childhood and Family Engagement Team has created a Pinterest for families and teachers at home. This page has resources for educators and parents focusing on the coronavirus itself, as well as Jewish communal responses and Passover resources. The project is also working to collect videos of educators and rabbis reading stories as well as Jewish rituals and song sessions.
  • Mechon Hadar has many online resources and is holding daily classes for children.
  • Take an audio tour especially made for kids of the Jewish Museum of New York.
  • Watch a Yiddish Theater production.

I hope you enjoy this list of resources! A big thanks to Rabbi Ora for her tireless work to gather these resources and be a source of both peace and levity for our community.

Please share any additional resources in the comments section!
