Purim 2021, Photo Credit: Carl Thiese
Purim in March, 2020 was the first holiday where many American Jews had to rethink how we would socialize due to the arrival of COVID-19 cases in both Israel and the US. Last year, many of us were able to keep our plans, while there were a few cancellations here and there. This year, however, many of us will probably be in a different situation, and like most of our holidays since last Purim, we will probably be in groups no bigger than five people.
