Israel was in the midst of a coronavirus shutdown, but AMIT Kfar Blatt Youth Village was always open, offering a protective home for students who needed a safe place for the Pesach vacation during the difficult days of the pandemic.
Another painful consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has been that those who suffered these losses have not been able to pay tribute to their loved ones because of restrictions of social distancing. A team of young women at Carmel 6000, a prestigious national service project under the auspices of AMIT, created a way for mourners to commemorate these Jewish victims of COVID-19 worldwide.
