Cushioned from the Blow: A Longitudinal Study of the Well-being of Four Orthodox Communities During the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020
2021-06-17 11:00 - 12:00 | On-Line, 11 Broadway, NY, NY, 10004, United States
Presented by: Dr. Michelle Shain, Associate Director of the OU’s Center for Communal Research
The OU’s Center for Communal Research is about to release the results of a longitudinal study, surveying adult members of 11 Orthodox shuls in four communities at three time points during the COVID-19 pandemic. Get a first look at how the pandemic affected religious experience, mental and physical health, and financial well-being.
Key finding: Orthodox Jews living in these four communities largely insulated from the harmful effects of the pandemic, due to their high socioeconomic status and religious resources, including tools for coping with stress and reduced existential uncertainty.
Dr. Michelle Shain is a social scientist who combines academic expertise in policy research with a passionate commitment to the well-being of the Jewish community. She holds an MA from the Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Ph.D. in Social Policy from the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. Before joining the OU, Dr. Shain spent ten years as a researcher at Brandeis University’s Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies.

Why is There a Coffee Advertisement at your Seder? The Story of the Berry that Looked Like a Bean.
Presented by: Elie Rosenfeld, CEO of Joseph Jacobs Advertising Agency

With 25 years of experience in advertising and marketing, Elie Rosenfeld is one of the leading experts in marketing strategy and communications for the American Jewish market. Elie began his career at Royal Wine/Kedem in their advertising department and created their in-house ad agency.

In 1996, Elie joined the historic Joseph Jacobs Advertising agency and in 2003 acquired the firm and became its CEO. Today, he is a respected consultant to the kosher food industry and the Jewish media field. Elie’s expertise is in practical media and marketing strategy targeting the Jewish consumer utilizing traditional print, and also the highly specialized arena of Jewish digital and social media advertising.
One of Joseph Jacob’s most famous contributions to the American Jewish market is the famed Maxwell House Haggadah. Since 1932 Jewish homes have turned these pages as they retell the story of Pesach. Elie has been fortunate to direct 2 revisions of this work, including the overhaul of its English translation in 2011.
