Top 10 Episodes of 2020: #7: Plagues, Epidemics, and Quarantines in Jewish Philosophy

As 2020 comes to a close, I decided to curate 10 of my favorite episodes from this past calendar year and revisit them on the podcast. If you have already listened to it over the course of the year, it will give you a chance to enjoy it again, and if you missed it the first round, now is a great time to catch up on these ten episodes. This ranking will be exclusively featured on this podcast channel, All Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Podcasts; it will not be on the individual feeds. Please email me if you agree or disagree with my ranking. I am sure that you already know my email address πŸ™‚

We are living in extraordinary times and facing unprecedented challenges: The coronavirus is upending everyday life in a way that we have never seen in our lifetime. People are scared, people are quarantined, markets are plummeting, schools are off, shuls and yeshivos are shuttered, no one can get toilet paper or bottled water – our equilibrium is off-kilter. In this special episode, we offer a Torah perspective on plagues, epidemics, and quarantines that tries to drill down on the question of, β€œwhat does God want from us?”
