The coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdowns and stay-at-home orders upended life as we know it. Yet, as always, our community pulled together. Now, as we slowly emerge from our homes and move toward our “new normal,” we at The Jewish Link have brought on a special cohort of summer interns, who will work remotely to help document our rebirth and renewal in the pages of our paper.

Through vibrant photos and written pieces, our interns will document how individuals, businesses, shuls and organizations are engaging in a variety of activities and acts of chesed that mark their gradual return to normalcy. We call this section “Community Views,” and we are proud to share with you its inaugural issue, this week on pages 72 and 73.

We invite you to let us know what is happening in your area. We would be happy to include it in a future issue. To do so, please email [email protected].
