Friday is Tomorrow, or The Dayenu Year is a true story of learning to grieve and thrive during the first year of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Within the first month of the lock-down, the author loses his father to the disease and then, soon after, his job.

Through the support of his family, friends, and community, Friday is Tomorrow tells the uplifting story of how one man learns to maintain traditions in a time of uncertainty while reaching for his dreams.

At times moving, at times humorous, the ups and downs of this New Yorker were originally penned (quite literally, with a physical pen) for Columbia University's NYC Covid-19 Oral History, Narrative and Memory Archive. Edited together for the first time, Friday is Tomorrow is more than just an opportunity to read one person's struggle with the world wrought by the recent pandemic.

It is an invitation to take the time and space you need to consider and better understand your own story.

In this edition of the book you will find:

  • All photos and images in black and white (reflected in the price).
  • The first section, The Season of Fear, focuses on dealing with death during the early weeks of the pandemic.
  • The second section, The Season of Blur, focuses on coming out of quarantine, developing new ways to maintain social connections, activities and institutions, and the loss of a job.
  • The third section, The Season of Hope, tracks the impact of the vaccine, the launch of a new career, and the promise for a return to reconnecting in person with family and friends.
  • Topics explored include mourning, family, community, career reinvention, a house hunt, public schools, the Presidential election, the Girl Scouts, and more.
