What’s it like to go to school in a time of curfews, Zoom classes and social isolation? Trapped inside, how do you manage to find freedom? Forward senior editor Adam Langer talks to the winners of our writing contest about being young, isolated and hopeful in 2020.
This is part of our new series, “#ForwardFocus: Talks in Trying Times,” in which Forward editors are moderating weekly talks with Jewish leaders working to build community through this crisis.
