Letter Addressing Current Uptick
See letter below (credit: Kol Haiolam)
The Igud Rabbonim address current uptick in covid19 thew are seeing a tremendous increase of illness panning all ages. There are hospitalizations in older and at risk populations, hatzalah calls are not limited to the elderly and infirm. First we must be mispalel for those who live here and those in eretz Yisrael who are undergoing a much more severe crisis.
We must change the way we are reacting to the virus it is not enough for those who are high risk to protect themselves the virus is infecting even those who are trying to be careful. They advise the following:
If you are elderly or at high risk: you should remain at home as much as possible. If it is absolutely necessary to go somewhere you must first consult with your doctor and than take all precautions.
For everyone no matter what age:
If you are feeling Flu like symptoms or any symptoms affiliated with Covid19 no matter how mild must treat it as if they have a confirmed case of covid19. Waiting until a test is taken exposes others unnecessarily to risk and harm. This means if you are feeling unwell you must isolate for 10 full days from the onset of symptoms. If you were exposed to someone who experienced these symptoms you must isolate quarantine for 10 days even if they did don't have a positive test result.

AMI Interview With DR Fauci - Challenges for the Orthodox Community due to Pandemic
By Jake Turx
AMI Magazine- Despite his innumerable media appearances during this pandemic, the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, isn’t easy to reach. This has been especially true in the weeks following his recent vocal cord surgery, which limited his ability to give interviews. His staffers said that until the doctor’s voice is healed, he will be keeping interviews to a bare minimum, giving consideration to only the most essential requests. The interview I had been promised would have to wait.
I was therefore more than pleasantly surprised a few days ago to receive a call from someone at the Department of Health and Human Services, who informed me that the HHS was looking to communicate with the Orthodox Jewish community about the challenges we face because of the epidemic, especially as we head into another holiday season.
List: Tekias Shofar for Nashim
Please post in comment section if not on list, also people in quarantine will need people to blow at their homes or outdoors.

The Uniqueness of the Year תשפ"א
Authored by ??
This coming year תשפ"א is the most rarest of occurrences. I will give a quick introduction: There is a total of 14 various ways of how the yearly Jewish calendar can be set. 7 of them are regular years, and 7 of them are leap years - 14 in total.
Each of these 14 ways has a 3 letter code. By knowing this code, one can figure out the entire year; exactly what day of the week each Yom Tov will fall out, when Rosh Chodesh will be, whether it's a leap year or not, which Parsha will it be each week, etc, etc.
The code for this coming year is זח"א. I will not bore everyone as to explaining what this code means, but suffice to say that it is arguably the rarest of all 14 methods. The last time this occurred was 20 years ago and the time before that was 44 years ago.
I will list here some of the rare phenomenons which we will be witnessing this coming year:

-Covid Minyan update: We have been receiving inquiries from people who have symptoms, or have been exposed, or who are infected, or just coming out of the illness.

-Excerpt From a letter sent by a Lakewood practice: There is no way to know how many cases of illness there are now, but we do know that cases are present throughout Lakewood and continue to increase on a daily basis. To be sure, the vast majority of these cases have occurred in "low-risk" people, and have been mostly mild, and have ranged from no symptoms at all to moderate illness (which means miserably sick in bed for a while). This week, however, there have been 5 hospitalizations of people in the high-risk category, with four cholim requiring oxygen and one admitted to the ICU. The major source of the spread of the illness during this outbreak was originally Simchos, where many people gather together from all over, with non-immune people in attendance who are not protecting themselves. The illness spreads rapidly in this type of environment. At this point, however, the illness now seems to be spreading everywhere...

Tekias Shofar During a Pandemic
Rabbis, health depts and organizations have issued guidance on how to properly blow the shofar this year. The fear is that it could be a superspreader of the virus because of the droplets.
With many people homebound this year communities have set up networks for volunteers to go around and blow shofar in different neighborhoods.
Some shuls will have the baal tokea stand 12 feet away with the shofar pointing outdoors, or to place a cloth or mask over the shofar the OU said in its guidelines this does not appear to alter the sound of the shofar. Others will blow a minimum of 30 kolos
The Agudah moetzes wrote that "the blowing of the shofar should not be changed in any way".
Unfortunately some in the conservative and reform movement have gone to the extreme from hearing the shofar over the internet, playing a pre recorded shofar blast ,a drive thru in the parking lot to eliminating it totally by replacing it with musical instruments sounds of the piano and guitar " to help evoke the emotions that arise from chanting and singing together. (NYT article)
In a meeting with OU Rabbonim the US Surgeon General addressed shofar blowing as it pertains for this year. Blowing the shofar presents a unique challenge as the act by its nature spreads the baal tokea’s respiratory droplets further than the standard six-foot distance. Dr. Adams recommended that the shofar be held a fair distance away from others and also commented on an OU recommendation to cover the shofar’s opening with a cloth covering.

Moetzes Kol Korei: Not to change Recitation of Traditional Piyutim or Shofar Blowing
Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudah signeda Kol kore in Advance of Rosh Hashana signed by all 15 members. While other communities have called to eliminate the recital of traditional piyutim or minimize shofar blowing. The moetzes proclaimed to not change in any way the recitation of the traditional prayers and piyutim. (It goes without saying that the blowing of the shofar should not be changed in any way.)Elul 5780
We find ourselves, both here and in Eretz Yisroel, apprehensive about our fulfillment of the Torah and service to Hashem, and alarmed about our health and financial stability, in the face of challenges not faced for many years. We are faced with the dangers of technology and popular culture’s dilution of our values on the one hand, and the ever-present fear of COVID-19 on the other. Our young children’s schools are closed to a greater or lesser extent, our older children’s schools are operating under significant constraints, and attendance in our shuls is down – of the ones that are still even open. The future is uncertain – may Hashem rescue us from calamitous decrees!

Letter: Rabbonim, Talmidei Chachomim: Not to lower the Standards of Torah Learning
Letter below signed by Rabbonim Roshei Yeshiva poskim Roshei chabura-
The primary in our city and the hishtadlus toward that goal is to expand and sustain our Torah life in the most effective way possible. To strengthen our living conditions, including the protection of our health, are all for the purpose of enabling the expansion of Torah, which is כי הם חיינו ואורך ימינו
It is inconceivable to lower the standard of Torah learning which will certainly detract from the goal, as a means of protecting and safeguarding from health related concerns, utilizing the goal as a vehicle to achieve the means. While there is no question that safeguarding ones health is an absolute obligation which may not be taken lightly, the responsibility of the hishtadlus is that the measures taken do not interfere or overstep the bounds of the Torah itself as defined by the earlier generations.
