So How Was Your Shul This Week?

[Mikes@Micro]

Anyone know where I can get sign templates in Yiddish/English saying that masks are required?

Ask Shul signs. Also any company which makes door plaques

Are they the first to give different treatments to those that have antibodies?

I have seen it elsewhere and it was unfortunately the undoing of the entire rule.

Why did they actually trust people to follow the rules?

It's been proven repeatedly that people just do what they want

Because chassidim usually listen to their rebbehs.

What should they do? Interrogate everyone upon entry?

It’s very unrealistic to ask people. That’s why it’s simpler to tell everyone to wear masks if you want an effective rule.

Nearly every Shul in Lakewood started off by asking only those with antibodies to attend

I hope you understand that there is a difference between shomer shabbos and a shul that is member based and most people know each other, and when an Israeli comes in he is easily identifiable,

Unfortunately (at least in my shul) that did not even last through the first Kabbalas Shabbos and was completely forgotten by Shabbos morning

I really find it interesting that march/april/may all the shuls in florida, California, Cleveland or wherever it maybe were all closed when those states were barely hit at all by covid. Now that florida and California have 10k cases a day each, the shuls were able to figure out how to open safely with masks and SD. Bunch of hypocrites, sad.

Yup. Whole country just up and decided not to take this seriously anymore.

[Sam Finkelstein]

To be fair, you need to evaluate decisions based on what information was available at the time.

Yup, totally sad that we tried to avoid the thousands of Jewish deaths in NY/NJ and then adjusted as we saw it wasn't coming here fast and furious like that

The real question is how to strike the appropriate balance in the long run, in NY and everywhere else.

And you think that was because they didn't wear masks in shul? Or maybe that thousands of frum people already had it by purim time and just gave it to everyone. 2 weeks after pesach there wasn't any less risk then now. If closing was a preventative measure, then nothing has changed yet.

Why isn’t there a dislike button?

Feels like MSN, maybe should have a trigger warning for something you don't like. Do you really think that there is inherently less of a risk now then 2 months ago?
