By Debra Weiner-Solomont (Staff) — “The COVID-19 crisis has changed the way we conduct ourselves in so many ways especially now as the country may enter another lockdown. We must think and plan before going anywhere. Spontaneity has gone to the wayside, for now at least. My most vivid memory, while growing up in Brookline, MA, was “shul-hopping” on Simchat Torah. What a thrill to start at Maimonides, dance down to the Bostoner Rebbe and the icing on the cake was watching, as the Rav, Rabbi Soloveitchik danced with his mechutan The Talner Rebbe. The shul was packed, with barely room to move, let alone breathe. We were literally on top of one another. We were so carefree as we sang, held hands and danced with one another.”
