With most congregations returning to some semblance of normalcy, one of the biggest questions is how children—who cannot be vaccinated—can safely return after 18 months away. There’s no consensus among congregations, resulting in a hodgepodge of ad hoc rules across the country.

On this week’s episode of Bonjour Chai, our weekly current affairs show, hosts Avi Finegold and Ilana Zackon are joined by Rabba Rachel Kohl Finegold, a member of the clergy team at Congregation Shaar Hashomayim and the president of the Montreal Board of Rabbis.
