JTA — Joshua Brook was relaxing with his partner one evening when a text message popped up in one of his group chats: Extra COVID-19 vaccines were available right then, at the Arena indoor sports and concert hall next to Jerusalem’s largest soccer stadium.
Brook, 29, was skeptical. He had received several similar messages earlier in the week that ended up being hoaxes. Still, he decided to take a chance. He and his partner hopped in their car, drove through Jerusalem’s winding streets and, 25 minutes after he saw the text, made it to the Arena  — which now houses a giant vaccination clinic.
