As in-person convenings across the country have been rendered impossible due to the coronavirus pandemic, organizations have taken to the internet to connect with supporters and expand their reach. Since the start of the pandemic, Jewish Insider has compiled statistics, released weekly, on the webinars and online events being held across the community.

In addition to activities around the Democratic National Convention, which included a Jewish community meeting that drew more than 5,000 attendees, organizations held a wide range of events this week.
