    Shop, Pray, Run

    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.

    Getting Better

    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.

    Eggs

    While a few regions of Israel had eggs aplenty, many others were left scrounging. The great Passover egg hunt was on. After Miriam Herschlag took to Facebook seeking ideas for replacing the egg on her seder plate (eliciting suggestions of a chocolate egg, lentils, rice, caviar, a plastic egg, avocado, a photo of an egg, and 80 more ideas), relief arrived from the friend next door. Ed Snitkoff's Jerusalem eggspedition led him to venture to the heart of Abu Tor, and to discover that egg shortages know no borders. And Jewish World editor Amanda Borschel Dan got to the supermarket and found out that eggs were not the only item in short supply, eventually ending up with far more than she bargained for.
