Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted more than two years and included several waves, the present study focused on Jewish communities around the world, in order to understand the role of community during the pandemic. This study focused on the community mechanisms that helped community members to cope with the pandemic. To that end, between October 2021 and July 2022, in-person interviews were conducted with leaders and members of the following communities: Budapest, Hungary; Subotica, Serbia; Vienna, Austria; Bratislava, Slovakia; Vilna, Lithuania; Buenos Aires, Rosario, Salta, and Ushuaia in Argentina; and Mexico City and Cancun in Mexico. Each interview lasted between 45 min and 1.5 h. All of the interviews were audio-recorded and transcripts of those recordings were prepared. Three major themes emerged from the interviews: challenges, coping, and opportunities. Most of these themes were common to the different communities around the world. The findings of this work are discussed in terms of the concept of sense of community and resiliency theories.
在持续了两年多并经历了几波疫情的背景下,本研究聚焦于全球的犹太社区,以了解社区在疫情期间所扮演的角色。本研究侧重于帮助社区成员应对疫情的社区机制。为此,在 2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 7 月期间,我们对以下社区的领导人和成员进行了实地访谈:匈牙利布达佩斯、塞尔维亚苏博蒂察、奥地利维也纳、斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发、立陶宛维尔纽斯、阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯、罗萨里奥、萨尔塔和乌斯怀亚以及墨西哥城和坎昆。每次访谈持续 45 分钟至 1.5 小时。所有访谈均进行了录音,并制作了录音记录的文字稿。访谈中出现了三个主要主题:挑战、应对和机遇。这些主题大多在全球不同的社区中都有共同之处。本研究的结果从社区意识和弹性理论的概念进行了讨论。
