Nishma Research is conducting a survey of the Jewish community, dealing with the Coronavirus, and this gives us a good opportunity to share our reactions.  The survey covers such topics as how we are dealing with social distancing and changes in what shuls are providing, how this experience might be affecting us Jewishly, financial and health aspects, impact on our children’s education, etc. Nishma will make the findings fully available, and you can get the findings emailed to you directly. The survey is open to all, ages 18 and older, and can be accessed at https://bit.ly/coronavirus-jewish
