Faith and the COVID-19 vaccine: ‘The scientific community has a storytelling problem’
To explore what American clergy are doing to support the vaccine effort, Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, the former CEO of the Conservative Jewish movement’s Rabbinical Assembly and now a master’s candidate at the City University of New York’s School of Public Health, is interviewing a series of faith leaders about their traditions’ views on public health and vaccination, and this vaccination effort.

This week Rabbi Schonfeld talks with the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, a Buddhist monk ordained by the Dalai Lama who is the president and CEO of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of a recent memoir, Running Toward Mystery: The Adventure of an Unconventional Life.
