Rockland County outside New Yok City has the highest per-capita rates of COVID19 infection rate in the New York Metro area. Not by coincidence, it is also home to several large Ultra-Orthodox/Hasidic communities. Several Hasidic rabbis have died from COVID19 and instead of learning a hard lesson their funerals have seen large turnouts who knows infecting how many more. The same issue is occurring in Israel.

You will never see them complaining about gatherings in mosques.

The irony of Passover is interesting. This curse/virus is supposed to pass over your house if you have lambs blood over the door. This time it’s not helping but then again it doesn’t seem to affect children.

I dont think there is anything that could interrupt Jewish tradition. My ex was fired for mistakenly scheduling a company meeting during Jewish holiday....and yes it was a major law firm.

Yeah yeah yeah.

The Joos, the Joos

There is always someone wanting their little Judenrein world somewhere, and always a paper willing to print it. Although in this case none of the people pushing that crap wanted their name on the byline.

As well they should. Our government has fallen under the spell of hysteria on the part of dummies, the medical profession ought to be ashamed.

Full exposure of our slime media.

Joooooooos - bad.
Nothing whatsoever about the religion of hate.

I really really will demand that we handle our media in a very very special way following CW-II.

They claim they want to be a part of the communities they reside but time and time again they prove us wrong. They are not stupid people. I know many might revert to, oh he must be anti Semitic, no I am a realist. Why is every other group following the program? With the complete disregard for my health and my families health this is not about who you are but what you are

I’m not sure of the details of how they’re congregating. But what, precisely, is the relative risk of social distancing within a synagogue versus everyone staying at home? Is it really much higher? Does anyone really know?

Using the logic that I’m seeing used in this forum, even going to a supermarket or a liquor store or a gun shop makes you a murderer, because that elevates the risk. People who condemn these congregations but argue otherwise are just deciding for others what is “essential” activity, and what is not.

I thought this was a free country.

I can understand their reasoning. Not being able to participate in Holy Week is “killing me.”

My heart aches. There has to be another option besides watching Catholic Mass on TV. This makes me a protestant: Pretending the host is really Christ.

I see the situation as: how strong is your faith? Are you willing to go to any lengths to have your soul fed, or do you passively sit back and wring your hands?

The ache in my heart won’t let me be passive. My soul is crying.

Cuomo came out yesterday and said of people out in parks and doing stuff outside that “You don’t have that right”.

This Is what we can look forward to, tearing up the constitution by these Lefties.

Because it is a “RELIGION”. More about rules, procedures, etc, than worship or faith.

Yep....Ultra-Orthodox/Hasidic communities see themselves as the direct,true and historical descendants of Gods chosen people. Like the Islamic sects who see themselves as direct descendants of Muhammad and hold to their extreme beliefs and lifestyles, or Roman catholics who believe they are the only and original true church.

I suspect many within these believe their God will protect them if they gather together....forgetting God's warning as it is written, 'You shall not test the Lord, your God'.

Yes God will protect us and guide us in making 'the right choices'..... but does that mean you’re going to put yourself in a dangerous situation?

What you don’t do is put yourself in the face of danger and say God work your magic. You didn’t put me here I’m putting myself in this situation now show yourself....
