- Overseas Bachurim and Avreichim Allowed to Return to Israel, If They Have Place to Quarantine
Interior Minister Rabbi Aryeh Deri announced that he is allowing overseas kollel families and yeshivah students to return to Israel, under the condition that the yeshivah can affirm that the students and/or families have a place to quarantine according to the health ministries guidelines.
Each request will need to be submitted personally by the Rosh Yeshivah to the Interior Ministry.
As per the Interior Ministry, yeshivah bachurim in quarantine can only be one student in a room, with separate facilities for each bachur. and the yeshivos will need to provide food for the bachurim. (Hamodia)
Why is the "scoop" publishing articles in support of reopening businesses but making sure shuls and yeshiva stay closed? Why were askanim trying to shut down shuls over shabbos? Why are letters from the Rosh Yeshiva regarding opening shuls not being published, but the forged ones shutting down shuls were? Why are there no urgent robocalls calling on people to daven with minyan? If anyone doesn't believe there was a concerted effort against shuls, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them.
ReplyDeleteFor this 7000 people trying to go to Kosel on shevous - They can make a early baitz minyan and a late naitz minyan and get double the amount of people in?!?!?
DeleteI agree shulls should reopen but allot of people are not wearing any masks.
DeleteThe olam has to reach out directly to the politicians via a letter writing campaign and let them know that the self appointed askanim do not represent most of Lakewood or our interests that is the only way to get a serious change. The politicians think that they are talking to some Rabbis that they are Representative of the needs of the Lakewood kehila. Until there is a proper system by vote that appoints anyone these self appointed askanim have no right to present themselves as representatives or advocates.
ReplyDeleteThere are big differences between shuls and shopping:
ReplyDeletelonger exposure between same people, up to 2 hours.
staying in same place for longer.
shopping with masks, shul with no mask.
in shul people are davening and talking loudly, expelling droplets.
shul more socializing.
stores tend to be bigger, more airy, small stores are still closed to foot traffic for this reason.
shuls share coatrooms, restrooms, and books.
the outbreak in New York started with one peron who infected the entire shul there, including the rabbi.
This is why in Israel shuls are opening last.
Why can't the frum people keep the rules? For the shuls that are open and outside minyanim, keep the rules. Don't walk around during davening. Respect peoples 6 feet.
DeleteEven if you don't believe in this virus, respect someone else who does.
I went to Wal-mart today, and it was jam packed, No one was keeping 6 feet, it was not possible. you are exposed to a lot more people there then you are in any shul
DeleteGood question. Wall mart Shoppers should also be careful
DeleteIf shuls open with distancing, then those concerns are irrelevant. The essential workers were not getting infected in huge percentages, although they worked 8+ hr shifts, in closed areas, recirculating "infected " air, coming into contact with the public, socializing with coworkers and the public. The outbreak did not start with the shul, although early media reports believed so. Subsequent research shows that it was circulating earlier.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to write to our politicians explaining the real story in Lakewood!

Ever since the outbreak the governors commet lines in not being answered. Governor has no care for people this is all a apolitical ploy.
DeleteThere was a serious attempt to shut down the mikva nashim during the pandemic this is what askanim are busy with? fighting against all aspects of yahadus shutting down the mikvos closing shuls preventing tefillah betzibur not advocating for yehivos to open do they have no shame? These are things that throughout our history people were moser nefesh for and now someone drunk with power has the shoulders to see these gezeiros through?? are they not sensitive to the spiritual dangers that they are playing with. The non stop mesira which rav eliyahu Levin wrote anyone who masseres has put themselves on the level of a nochri.
ReplyDeleteOn the other there was a rebbetzin volunteered to clean a designated mikva for corona patients after each use that is the beauty of klal yisrael.
We are being bombarded with anti-asskanim messages, yet none of us have any clue who these asskanim are. Nameless faceless figures who seem to exist only for the sake of being bashed by anonymous commenters on this blog
ReplyDeleteAsk the rabbonim who were threatened ask the poskim who were coerced to sign under pressure ask who tried shutting down the mikvas
Deleteask the Rosh yeshiva who yelled at him these askanim should be happy they are anonymous otherwise they would be embarrassed to show their face in public. Ask the cops who snitched to them.
Ask Rav Eliyahu Levin why he wrote a very strong letter against the mesira in Lakewood that is going on now against other frum yidden who are in shuls or making simchas
ReplyDelete1. He did not mention simchos.
Delete2. Although he did sign the letter, he didn’t write it.
3. Others argue with him, it is not clear cut
Ask The rav who was threatened that hatzola will not service his development yes it actually happened
ReplyDeleteGood. In fact hatzolah is probably not allowed to come on shabbos to any development that had Minyanim throughout, since that development clearly holds that sofek pikuach nefesh is not doche mitzvos.
Deleteactually even if someone is negligent and was goirem himself a matzav of pikuach nefesh one is still MECHUYAV to be mechalel shabbos even though he was oiver on the fact he was a posheia, pls dont say something like that even as a joke
