Well he’s in galus in lkwd, maybe there’s a reason...

[yuneeq]

My shul has maskless and masked minyanim. I called the Rabbi and argued about it for an hour, the shul didn't want a maskless minyan but many congregants don't want to wear a mask and fought about it, so this was the compromise. I told him it shouldn't be up for debate, and no reason to compromise unless there is any medical basis for maskless minyanim. The shul might change it soon, they still didn't open fully, so perhaps they will mandate masks in order to reopen fully.

Is this an indoor or outdoor Minyan?

Which is why I'm still outside. Luckily, we still have an outdoor minyan.

because he is being accommodating to everyone

I was in a shul that had a sign to please be respectful (and give space) to those that want to social distance and wear a mask (and tell the gabbai if you don't want an aliya)

Allowing people into a public place without a mask because they are lazy or don't give a <redacted by mod> is accommodating everyone?

Many shuls have very polarized factions. Accomodaboth is probably the only way to go.

Or leadership.

Or leadership.

Leadership is probably leaning toward no masks but accommodating those who want it.

Maybe in that shul.

That's what we are discussing.

Accomodaboth only accommodates one side.

[Chief Rabbi of New York]

So they compromised
Only half the amount of people in each minyan
So instead of the normal 6 inch space
It will be a foot and half between people

Maybe in that shul.

and in almost every shul in lakewood

I am finding that most shuls with leadership are much more restrictive.
