Returning to Life After the Storm

A thoughtful guide to help anyone explore coping, healing, and beginning again in a world changed by the pandemic.

"COVID-19 put us all in crisis, and you don’t get out of a crisis alone: either we all get out together or we don’t get out." --Pope Francis

"Rabbi Skorka wrings from our texts lessons about the pandemic, the Jewish future, and the fractured souls that we bear through this accelerated modern world." --Rabbi David Wolpe

Rabbi Abraham Skorka, co‐author with Pope Francis of the international bestseller, On Heaven and Earth, guides us through a careful selection of Jewish resources to help us understand what the pandemic has meant to us as human beings.

A special message from Pope Francis demonstrates the universal reach of the book’s topics and passages, and a foreword by Rabbi David Wolpe, calls out our need for an interpreter of Rabbi Skorka’s skill and experience to help all of us make meaning of what we have been through and how we can move forward.
