Rant regarding important holidays during a pandemic, and links

jadelennox posted wise, kind words in zoom gali gali. I highly recommend checking it out! (Also I looked up the song zum gali gali in case you're curious too.)

For those of you who have not done remote holidaying yet this year, there's a lot of great resources about what works -- and what doesn't! -- that you can get from those of us who have already remoted so many holidays. I don't usually feel well positioned to have good how-to-pandemic tips because my household is comfortably large and because I don't have kids, but when it comes to holidays I'm in the same position as many other solitary people, as the only Jew in my home.
