Part 3: Plague in Our Backyard – Yellow Fever in Memphis and Rabbi Samfield’s Devoted Service
In this three-part series, we will explore Jewish responses to plagues in prior centuries, the theology of a plague (where does God fit in), and communal and spiritual responses to plague and quarantine. Most of the source material will be drawn from the brand new book, Torah in a Time of Plague, edited by Erin Leib Smokler.
