The Zoom shiva: Jewish funerals and mourning in the age of COVID

Note: All are welcome to this discussion, of course. I would especially like to hear from Jewish users about this article.

NBC News posted this yesterday. It gives an examination of how Jewish burial practices have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, it gives a brief overview of the practices themselves if you’re unfamiliar with them.

So, after reading this article…

What do you think? What are your views on how Judaism has adapted its traditions in these trying times?
