Corona virus and your shul

[Luvisrael]

Listening to the recording of Rav Simcha Bunim Cohen that was circulated, he implies that this situation would be okay, as he ties minyanim specifically to gatherings. I'm not saying for sure, but it could be that this would not be included in his message.

he says no minyanim anywhere. Inside or outside. Period.

Many reasons not to read ויקהל פקודי this week, (separate sefer, and 3 Parshiyos total), given the importance of social distancing, everybody could rely on that.

[zale]

The minyan I saw was more spread out than these, and each person was davening on their property, so they didn't have to pass each other on the way in or out.

No means no means no.

Rabbonim said no. It makes no difference how far apart everyone is or where they are standing.

NO MEANS NO.

The problem is that you tell your friends how you made you minyan, and your neighbor sends a whatsapp picture - "look! we were still able to make a minyan!". The next guy thinks we will also do outdoors, but doesn't realize you shouldn't be within 6 feet, or after davening goes to shmooze with his buddies. You don't need to theorize about this, there are still dozens of pictures and videos of people  on top of each other that have no idea how the virus transmits, or perhaps they simply don't care. People dancing with interlocked arms - at least they're not touching hands they're all good!

The rabbonim are not stupid. They know that it is physically possible to make a safe minyan. Yet they banned even safe minyanim due to the huge outbreak of idiocy that has overcome Jewish communities. No minyan is a safe minyan.

Everyone asking the same question...does he or any other rav or Rebbe who banned minyanim have a minyan? The answer is most definitely yes. So its do as I say, not as I do.

Bobov 45 Rebbe banned minyanim One of his dayanim is my next door neighbor who has Corona and has been quarantined in his house for the last 10 days for sure. His brothers have been hospitalized with it. Yet, this morning I found him on his back porch davening with a minyan behind our houses. Yes he was more than 6 feet away from the next guy. But as Rabbi Freundlich said all bets are off when youre outdoors.

What is wrong with these people?

Please post his name and a picture of this minyan. This Rabbi is a hypocrite and sick.

What did I make up?

What did I make up?

”any other rav.”That’s a huge gross slander. Please stop this.
