I live on a typical block in boro park. This morning just between the hours of 8am and 9am I counted 12 yes 12 men and bochrim going to daven with talis and tefilin. Multiply this by the other blocks in Boro Park and I feel safe to say there were well over 1000 people going to daven. The doctors have said don’t gather. Our Askanim have pleaded don’t gather. Our gedolim have paskened stay home and daven. And we have people that say “we know better.” Rashi says on the posuk shimu na homorim (Chukas perek 20 p 10) Morim – shotim. But doctors have said they are roschim. You may feel fine but you can pass it on to others. How will you answer after 120. The rabanim have said its a mitzva haba bavaira. I want to be dan lekaf zechus many in our community only have kosher phones, they don’t have internet perhaps they really don’t know the seriousness of the situation. If you are reading this and you have someone in your family who is going out to daven. Tell them Its a mitzva haba beavaira.
The only answer is what the Gerrer Rebbe Shlit”a did in Yerushalayim.
CHAIN LOCK THE SHULS.
Everyone laughed when some of the big Rabonnim and Rebbes in Eretz Yisroel canceled Purim Tishen/Mesibos.
They were well more informed than some other Rabbonim.
We MUST listen to the medical professionals that really did their research into this mysterious virus.
The communities who’s rabbonim closed all shuls have a much lower percentage of symptoms in the frum community. The communities who are keeping all the government regulations have a much lower percentage of symptoms in the frum community. Keep not listening to the doctors and the percentage’s in the cities that refuse to shut down will keep getting higher. Rabbonim have said repeatedly that it is not a mitzvah to daven with a minyan now. So if you’re not doing it for the mitzvah, why on earth are you doing it??? for yourself?? What G-d do you pray to?? My G-d said that Torah lo bashamayim and that what the rabbanim say becomes His psak!! This means Hashem does not want us to daven with a minyan. So if you are doing it, your values are very skewed!!! You are a kofeir b’iyar and an apikorus!
