When the COVID-19 pandemic forced Jamatkhana doors shut, Canadian Ismailis could no longer share chai and cake after uniting in prayer, attend religious education events or enjoy a night of dancing raas. Seniors who attended daily were suddenly isolated; many didn’t know how to connect with friends and family online. I could only watch from afar as my grandmother, a regular at Headquarters Jamatkhana in Toronto who lives alone, lost much of her connection to the outside world.
