In the age of Zoom, who is watching what?

As events and conferences around the country are cancelled and postponed, Jewish organizations are pivoting to digital video platforms to engage their members. A slew of webinars and conference calls were held this week featuring authors, heads of organizations and members of Congress, many of whom focused on the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
