Lost in Translation

The pandemic has transformed, perhaps forever, how we experience the most banal of activities, whether it’s a trip to the supermarket or a walk in the neighborhood. In this episode, we hear from ToI’s opinion editor Miriam Herschlag about why she keeps muttering “amen” on her evening jogs in Jerusalem, and from Ann Bar-Dov on her epic journey to pick up groceries in Israel’s northern town of Karmiel.

Shop, Pray, Run

Noam Shuster was having her dream year on a fellowship at Harvard when the pandemic shut down her world. The 33 year-old Israeli comedian flew back to her Jewish-Arab coexistence community near Jerusalem and, on the way, contracted what became a severe case of COVID-19. Listen to the story of her stint in the hospital followed by a stay in a “corona hotel” where she was shocked and awed to find a microcosm of Israel’s fractious society — Arabs, Jews, religious, secular, young and old — bound together in radical compassion by a shared cough.
