The stories of the guys running under the Russian soldiers who were beating him and one of their yarmulkas fell off and he went to retrieve it.

In certain generations that was critical that they would not waiver and that they stand farm in today's generation I think it's just stupidity
Moreover, if the attacks are on a religion, piety is understandable. In this case, it's an external force.

That's why I've been frustrated from day one. The virus may be because of a gezeira, And the answer is not keep minyanim going to counter gezeira.

Maybe the gezeira is to close the shulls?

Unfortunately, they're bred to be ignorant. Missing essentials of Yiddishekeit. This should be the lesson of this pandemic. To take a good look on how we are educating the next generation. But instead they're going to bash me for saying this.  ::)

It's also unfortunate that every shul in the NYC metro area should have been closed for zachor and purim as well in retrospect, but I think the Halachic imperative combined with the delay of information proved dangerous.

Your point. Every one can say that...

It should have been evident that the community spread from New Rochelle would reach all corners of the frum world in NY in days. I'm sure zachor and Purim accelerated the spread. Unfortunately, all levels of leadership failed to understand.

Hey, hey. This isn't a private venting forum. I don't know where your grandparents are from or why you are so mad, but I still have Holocaust surviving grandparents and hear 1st hand accounts from them which completely contradict what you wrote above. Their situation and mesiras nefesh can in no way compare to today's "minyan mesiras nefesh"...
You misread what I wrote. And I had holocaust grandparents too. What I'm saying is the mesirus nefesh was real by many individuals. Not fake wholesale whatever you want to call this. This is NOT mesirus nefesh.

it's bad enough that ur bashing a Dayan, no need for details.
I'm bashing my next door neighbor who is a roidef and should know better. The fact that he is a dayan, for me is meaningless. Mind your own business.

Of course it is, being moser someone elses nefesh.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

One thing if he was just a "regular Am Haaretz" that was interpreting things however he wanted, for his own "Chassidishe Yetzer Horah".

The fact that he's a Dayan makes it all the worse. When you're a public community figure that people trust and respect, any misguidance is like leading sheep to slaughter..

I didn't go out yesterday but on Shabbos afternoon I had to go check up on someone.
Walking from Albany and Empire to Kingston and Union, I saw less then 10 Jews each way.

What I saw past Kingston and Union is a different story על אלה אני בוכיה

He says doctors in the area hospitals are prioritizing non frum patients for respirators R”L because they say the frum people are bringing it upon themselves by gathering together.

Is there anything from official (NYS) sources on mikvahs? Someone (sincerely) told me that he saw that the NYSDOH said Mikvahs can't transfer the virus.

(Maybe I should post this in the FakeNews thread)
