Australian police on Tuesday issued fines to Jews at a shul in Melbourne where they held Rosh Hashanah minyanim in apparent violation of pandemic lockdown ordinances.
According to local reports, some 100 mispalelim gathered inside the shul at around 5 a.m. and refused to leave until nightfall.
Police surrounded the shul after receiving calls of a suspected mass gathering held in breach of COVID-19 restrictions. A police source told The Age newspaper that officers were not going to force their way into the shul and waited for mispalelim to come out.
Each attendee received a fine of $5,452 Australian dollars ($4,026 USD) upon leaving the synagogue, the report said.
Victoria, the state where Melbourne is located, has strict stay-at-home orders in place, with residents barred from holding gatherings or leaving their homes each night during curfew, among other sweeping restrictions.

Australia truckers blocking highways to major cities doing fantastic job. Many countries have followed suit.
Those idiots think Rosh HaShanah is a “holiday” or a “celebration” just like their own New Years drinking bashes.
Are you jealous?
In every generation they rise up to destroy us…!!!
