A thoughtful guide to help anyone explore coping, healing, and beginning again in a world changed by the pandemic. "COVID-19 put us all in crisis, and you don’t get out of a crisis alone: either we all get out together or we don’t get out." --Pope Francis "Rabbi Skorka wrings from our texts lessons about the pandemic, the Jewish future, and the fractured souls that we bear through this accelerated modern world." --Rabbi David Wolpe Rabbi Abraham Skorka, co‐author with Pope Francis of the international bestseller, On Heaven and Earth, guides us through a careful selection of Jewish resources to help us understand what the pandemic has meant to us as human beings. A special message from Pope Francis demonstrates the universal reach of the book’s topics and passages, and a foreword by Rabbi David Wolpe, calls out our need for an interpreter of Rabbi Skorka’s skill and experience to help all of us make meaning of what we have been through and how we can move forward. "Rabbi Abraham Skorka was born in Buenos Aires. He earned a PhD in chemistry from the University of Buenos Aires and graduated from Midrahsa HaIvrit and the Latin-American Rabbinical Seminary. He was the rabbi of Benei Tikva synagogue for forty-two years and rector of the Rabbinical Seminary for twenty. He has published many articles and books, including On Heaven and Earth, an international bestseller, which he wrote with then-Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Bergoglio, who is now Pope Francis. Rabbi Skorka has received honorary doctorates from the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina, Jewish Theological Seminary, and Sacred Heart University. He has received awards from the legislature of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the Polish Council of Christians and Jews, The Eternal Light Award from St. Leo University Center for Catholic and Jewish Understanding, and The Jan Karski Eagle Award.
