Washington, DC - The restaurant industry is one of the hardest-hit industries by the dual health and economic crises. The workers. The owners. The suppliers. All have lost. In Chicago, restaurants undergird the economy of entire neighborhoods. Chinatown. Greektown. Little Italy. Downtown. They are all hurting.

I know that in the Jewish tradition those who die at the New Year, Rosh Hashanah, are considered special. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was certainly special.

She was the embodiment of the commandment ‘justice, justice, you shall pursue,’ which, I understand, hung in her chambers in Hebrew.
Whoever replaces her has giant shoes to fill.
