Parshat Bo 2021: The Rituals of Democracy - Yael Ridberg
(Written for Shabbat Bo, January 22, 2021, and originally published at The Times of Israel as “The Rituals of American Democracy” Used with kind permission.)

A Plague of Darkness - Passover DT Strassfeld
There is a plague of darkness that has fallen not only on our land but upon the world. Actually, there are many plagues — just as in Egypt they seem to come in groups even though just one plague would be more than enough — dayyenu.

There is also a plague of scarcity:
A shortage of ventilators, protective gear and hospital beds.https://archive.reconstructingjudaism.org/dvar-torah/plague-darkness
