Timeless Lessons From Unprecedented TimesOn March 11. 2020, due to the COVID outbreak, the "unprecedented" decision was made to shut down Jewish communal life in Bergen County. By relaying the weekly d'rashos (sermons) that were delivered in varying degrees of abstentia to Congregation Ahavat Shalom in Teaneck, NJ, Rabbi Yehuda Halpert traces the adversity endured during the lockdown and details the spiritual triumph and resilience of a Jewish community as it experienced the pandemic. "This sefer records Rabbi Halpert's adherence to the great Jewish tradition of providing spiritual and halachic guidance in times of crisis. His exemplary leadership is vividly transmitted to us through the medium of his derashot, as delivered in real time, [which] allow us to relive and reflect upon the challenges of those years." Rabbi Mosheh Lichtenstein Rosh Hayeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion "Historians need works like [this] compendium of sermons to contextualize how American Jews came to grips with the pandemic... This work will be a valuable source for scholars and of interest to readers of all religious backgrounds." Jeffreys Gurock Libby M. Klaperman Professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University "By publishing his d'rashos within their historical context, Rabbi Halpert has performed a great service to our community... His insightful perspective enables us to reflect and draw uplifting lessons from the COVID experience."
