The health, economic and governance tumult that has swept the entire world as a result of the coronavirus does not distinguish between Jews and non-Jews. Most of its effects are not unique to one group or another – except when speaking of the older age cohorts. At the same time, there is reason to examine how the crisis will affect the Jewish people in its distinctive contexts – among other reasons, as an aid to policy planning at a time when the crisis is at its peak and after it ends.
We will present in brief the arenas that the crisis impacts and, following the analysis, we will lay out some main questions unique to decision makers in the Jewish people. This document will not address issues that are clearly global or medical-professional, unless they have an element that touches on the Jewish people and requires special treatment.
The Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) is an independent professional policy planning think tank incorporated as a private non-profit company in Israel. The mission of the Institute is to ensure the thriving of the Jewish People and the Jewish civilization by engaging in professional strategic thinking and planning on issues of primary concern to world Jewry. Located in Jerusalem, the concept of JPPI regarding the Jewish People is global, and includes aspects of major Jewish communities with Israel as one of them, at the core.
