(JTA) – If New York City’s mayor won’t stop weddings in Brooklyn’s Hasidic neighborhoods from happening, the state’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, said Wednesday that he will.
“If the mayor is not doing any enforcement actions, then the state will,” Cuomo said at a news conference, according to the New York Post.
“We’ve had superspreader events in New Rochelle with the Jewish community, we’ve had them in the Catholic community. The virus does not discriminate by religious or racial lines, right? This is an equal-opportunity situation. So we police it in every circumstance.”
The governor’s comments come after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced 16 new cases last week in Borough Park, home to the city’s largest Hasidic population, with several connected to a large wedding. The New York Post also reported Wednesday that several wedding halls in Borough Park continue to host large Orthodox weddings, despite the bans on gatherings of more than 50 people, with people entering through side doors and with windows covered with paper.
Large weddings have resumed in several Orthodox communities, with some contributing to rising case numbers in a number of Orthodox hubs. The rising case numbers led several branches of Hatzalah, the Jewish ambulance corps, to issue warnings after it saw an increase in calls from people reporting COVID-like symptoms. The new cases threaten to keep schools from reopening for the fall, as well as the in-person High Holiday services being planned in several Orthodox communities.

Protests and rioting is OK because that doesn't spread the virus.
Just another Eyetalian anti-Semite.
Cuomo was never that great.
I can not believe this it’s crazy
The rules are for everyone but them. Deblasio is afraid of them.
Call it a peaceful protest, have an anti-trump sign there and there will be no problem.
The city is literally falling apart and they worry about a wedding? Heaven help them.
His name is “Wilhelm”, not DeBlasio.
He’s a fascist Kraut...
Well what do you know!
I went to a protest and a wedding broke out.
If New York City’s mayor won’t stop weddings in Brooklyn’s Hasidic neighborhoods from happening, the state’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, said Wednesday that he will.
Time for a Samson to use the jawbone of an ass to remove these Democrats.
I could loan them a good slingshot.
Thousands show up at their weddings!
ya, he legally changed his name. I think he said he identified more with the DeBlasio side of the family? He had some reasoning as to why he changed his name.
Deblasio is his father’s name. He changed his name.
May I suggest yellow stars on their clothing?
L
judenfrie.
The asses are in the governors and mayors offices
And yet the riots, looting, shouting spittle into other
peopole’s faces goes on day after day.
The moral clarity of these people is...
...nowhere to be found.
Didn’t he father abandon the family?
