Jewish summer camps call off summer 2020, and another Jewish funeral in Brooklyn: Your daily coronavirus briefing.
From Midtown to the Mideast - We Cover Your World
Breaking: The Reform movement is cancelling all of its "in-person activities" this summer, meaning its 15 summer camps, as well as all Israel/travel programs and in-person youth activities. "Although we have continued to plan, prepare, pray, and hope for another transformative summer, the risks posed by COVID-19 threaten our most sacred values: the health and well-being of our children, staff, and faculty that attend camp, along with their communities back home," leaders of the Union for Reform Judaism said in a statement.
While nothing can replace the feeling of being together at camp, the URJ is committed to offering a virtual camp experience this summer to ensure that the ties that bind campers to one another and to their summer home remain as strong as ever.

From editor in chief Andrew Silow-Carroll:
After the Romans destroyed the Temple, Judaism emerged as something different: a religion and people without a temple, sacrifices or even a state.
Will something new emerge after Covid-19?
Fundraising, ritual and community may never be the same.

An Irish artist is making history come alive by colorizing old photos and videos of Israel at the turn of the 20th century. This footage shows Jaffa Gate in 1897, which the artist colorized frame by frame. It's truly remarkable.

Now known as The Actors' Temple, this nondescript theater-meets-shul in Hell's Kitchen was first founded in 1917 as Congregation Ezrath Israel. Originally it served the local Orthodox population, mostly shopkeepers who worked nearby, but as the neighborhood changed over the years so too did its congregants. (Rumor has it the likes of Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg, The Three Stooges and Ed Sullivan prayed there.) Now the synagogue is still functional and doubles as a theater.
