The Jewish Federation of Cleveland hosted a virtual panel discussion on mourning loved ones who have passed away since March and how our Jewish rituals have had to change during COVID-19. The talk was moderated by Jeanne Tobin and Peter Waxman, co-chairs, Mourners Task Force.
Panelists include:

- Rabbi Akiva Feinstein, director of spiritual care and hospice chaplain, Montefiore
- Dr. David Rosenberg, director of UH Ahuja Lung Center and Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, University Hospitals
