Describe the oral history.
Some of the things we discussed include:
- Hearing about COVID-19 at a dinner party from someone who was already thinking about isolation.
- Celebrating Purim in Israel in March 2020 before curfews and shutdowns began.
- Travel in Israel, Oman and Qatar early in the pandemic, and then remained in Israel for 9 months as a result of the pandemic.
- Goal was to spend 2020-2023 visiting the rest of the countries I hadn't been to (pre-lockdown I had traveled to 123) but the pandemic shifted plans.
- Still managed to spend most of the pandemic traveling but was only able to visit 6 new countries (that I had never been to before).
- Also started a nonprofit for Latin Jews at the beginning of the pandemic.
- Planning the first in-person retreat in January 2022 and moving into a hybrid model due to Omicron.
- Flexibility in scheduling and program design as a part of safety.
- Resisting panicking.
- Spending a lot of time apart from husband for work pre-pandemic; spending much more time together during the pandemic.
- Husband visiting Israel for an intended 9 days but staying for 7 months with flight interruptions and lockdown.
- Having a miscarriage in 2021, unable to have husband in the ER.
- A successful pregnancy carried to term in 2022; husband accompaniment to medical appointments dependent on the state of Omicron; having a doula.
- Yoga as a form of self care that had to change when studios shutdown.
- Preparing to live in an endemic.
- The shaming and blaming that happens when someone tests positive for COVID-19.
