As soon as Israel entered its first coronavirus lockdown, the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute began broadcasting live lectures and events on its website, its YouTube channel<\/a> and its Facebook<\/a> page, as part of the \u201cThinking Live\u201d\u00a0 series. Each lecturer appeared on video from their home, and the audience, which was invited to ask questions, watched from their own homes. In this article we collected some of the main lectures held at the institute in 2020. We would like to recommend browsing through the numerous and diverse lectures held by the institute over the years, which are stored as videotaped lectures<\/a> on the website.<\/p>\n
