Merlijn Doomernik Meijer and Tedje van der Sluis during the filming of a 2018 documentary film about their marriage. Tedje died April 11, 2020, of the coronavirus. (JTA) - There s no way to tally all those we lost in 2020, a year when we mourned even our ability to carry out time-tested rituals of grief. Among those who died this year were some of the Jewish world s most famous and influential pillars in a range of industries, realms of thought and areas of activism - from the pioneer jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the moral thought leader Rabbi Jonathan Sacks to the Modern Orthodox rabbi Norman Lamm to the influential LGBTQ activist Larry Kramer. ....
Sat 2 Jan 2021 04.00 EST My cousin Catie Lazarus died last month. She was 44. No, not from Covid â the other big C, which, it turns out, does not take a break even during a pandemic. One of Catieâs and my running jokes was about how Jewish we both look: âWeâre like a Nazi propaganda poster,â she said, catching our reflection in her bathroom mirror when I stayed with her in 2014, just after she started chemotherapy.

mishpocheh. Her “Employee of the Month” series of chats at the Public Theater’s Joe’s Pub in downtown Manhattan featured sassy challenges to celebrity interviewees like the Jewish playwright Wallace Shawn, who in September 2014 languidly claimed to have considered a job as a taxi driver decades earlier. Lazarus brightly retorted, “I just can’t imagine you driving a cab; you would go so slow!” Then she collapsed with laughter at the mere idea of the lethargic Shawn pitted against the hurly-burly of Manhattan traffic.
