So, I’ve compiled some helpful tips and recommendations for how you and your family can celebrate safely from afar. There’s no reason we can’t get through a Zoom Thanksgiving, too. We Jews have been through a lot, including Zoom seders, Zoom High Holiday services, and like a bunch of genocides throughout history.
