And now for the grand finale! We hope you have enjoyed seeing the creativity sparked in our community by the Covid19 epidemic. Despite the sickness and death that has occurred, despite the economic hardships, despite the many upheavals going on all around us, as Jews we must choose life. So to close out our series, we wanted to present a gift to the community to remind us not only of what we have lost with the cancellation of events and activities that we love and that bring us close to one another, but to serve as a reminder that we must continue to hold fast to one another remotely and look forward to the day when we can be together again. Without further ado -- here is CoVid #19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsZLQPw_KD4&feature=youtu.be

In CoVid #18, an auspicious number, Temple Adath Yeshurun RABBI and ASHIRA ZEHAVI celebrate Havdallah with beautiful Yemenite melodies. Thanks to the quarantine, oddly enough, we can all join with them in this lovely ceremony. https://www.facebook.com/templeadath/videos/233647757726250/

In CoVid #17, Syracuse native HUGHIE STONE-FISH and friends show us a video they created just before everything shut down. Hughie is a musician, comedian, social activist and teacher living in Los Angeles, CA and spending as much time in Syracuse, NY as he can. His message of gratitude is relevant even though we can’t party right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch

In CoVid #16, the FELLMAN BROTHERS, Jacob and Zach, cook Saturday night dinner. It looks really good. Too bad we can’t help them eat it!

Zach and Jacob cook dinner. B'tay avon!

CoVid #15 is a look back at a visit by the SHDS 4th grade to the TEMPLE CONCORD FOOD PANTRY, which reminds us of what we have lost and how the need for food is ongoing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5DZpbDFa3k&feature=youtu.be

In CoVid #14, optometrist DR. MARK SUKOENIG invents a comic quarantine song, How Will I Know What is Coming?

In Covid #13, SU HILLEL shows us Kanaan’s artwork: Tree of life in quarantine. https://www.facebook.com/syracusehillel/videos/538422210416807/
