Pesach Programs
« on: March 04, 2020, 05:58:27 PM »
COVID-19 is expected to peak around Pesach time.

Were you planning on going to a program?
Has your program cancelled?
Will you cancel your program plans?

am planning on going with in laws for second half, however im expecting in 2 weeks and kinda freeked out about bringing a 3 week old baby to a hotel which in this case will probably be a petri dish of the virus.

personally i think that the hotels will end up canceling by then, even the ones in the usa. maybe even will be forced by local goverments to cancel to try to not spread it as much

Not always practical to make pesach within 3 weeks of having a baby.

Young children are the least at risk. There are no known deaths in children under 10. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Were you planning on going to a program?
Has your program cancelled?
Will you cancel your program plans?

I was about to book a program in Spain but have reconsidered. I don't love the idea of traveling at all, especially to Europe.
I will keep an eye on the situation closer to Pesach but I think I am out for now.

Not saying anything bad will happen.
I just don't bring my kids out in public until they're a couple months old and can be vaccinated, etc.

People need to decide if they are going to go to Pesach Program and risk the ~3% death rate or have to make Pesach at home

Think most people will take their chances :-)

Whether or not you go with your in laws changes the math a bit.

If your home for pesach - Chag kosher visameach!

If your by your in-laws - Chag kosher! (It prob won't be sameach)

If your by a hotel - Chag sameach! (It prob won't be kosher)

If your at a hotel with your in-laws - Chag!

People should learn how to make Pesach. It's totally foreseeable that they are going to eventually be canceled all over.

Sad to seee people plans impacted. Just fantasyland but  imagine if someone would start a campaign where Jews worldwide would donate the money they would have otherwise spent on flights and pesach hotels to yeshivos, aniyim, kiruv, or any other tzorech mitzvah that speaks to them. It could easily add up to half a billion dollars.  Imagine the good it could accomplish and the enormous impact it would have upon  world Jewry....

Many people know how to make Pesach, it's just a matter of wanting to..

Let's not be judgmental about other people. You have no way of knowing what they donate to Charity.

Most probably give their share and beyond. Not a judgment about the money they do spend just a fantasy about the money that is probably not going to be spent this year. Just in my neighborhood there are several people I know of who are in desperate need of therapy, two need a rehab program, several have houses undergoing foreclosure, half a dozen widows with large families, schools that need resources for weaker students. That’s just locally.  Hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated Jews who would be receptive to authentic yiddishkeit but there is a lack of resources to reach out to them; and the list goes on. I’m sure in Israel the needs are a lot more acute. Tzorchei amcha merubim
