Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2 Episode 9-

Counterpoints:As we Learn to Mask-We need to unlearn our fear of death

The Rabbis deal with navigating the fear of death during the Pandemic, and in general in life.

Rabbi Bechhofer quotes Rav Yisroel Salanter's sage words (actually echoing Socrates) to the Alter of Novardok, while Rabbi Kivelevitz extols the nobility of the many persons he has known who have faced their mortality in exemplary fashion.

They then call in Rabbi Bechhofer's wife, Shani, to discuss her article in the Jewish Press advocating strongly for mask wearing. She uses Rischa's forum to expand on some points and to respond to the arguments of Rabbi Michoel Green who sees the Mask Mandates as part of "An Anti-Jewish assault."

Kivelevitz ridicules most of the spurious contentions Green offers, with Rebbetzin Bechhofer paying him a few backhanded compliments for ingenuity.
