As the coronavirus started its escalation in New York, Rabbi Josh Davidson stood in the sanctuary of Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan and delivered his Shabbat Message to an empty room.  The message was titled, "Climbing Toward the Light of a Better Day," and it was being broadcast to his congregation over the internet.  

Since that day, Rabbi Davidson and his team have had to change the way they serve the community, embracing "virtual" connection in the interest of safety and flattening the curve. But while the methods have had to change, the importance of connection is more important than ever.

In this episode of Voices of Covid-19, Brian Lucas interviews Rabbi Davidson about adapting to a pandemic and how we can come together as a community to find a path forward.
