High Holy Days During a Pandemic

Produced by Eve Lyons and Elizabeth Bristow Text by Choire Sicha It’s very nearly 2020, an election year in the United States, and by the look of the country on TV and in the newspapers, you’d think every day was spent in bitter acrimony over health care and environmental catastrophe, financial inequality and discussing if we all work for Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. Well. Yes.

Champions in the Ring, and Out
Champions all?
