David Greenfield, a former city councilman who represented Borough Park and is now CEO of the Met Council, a large social service agency that serves many Orthodox Jews, said many were skeptical of the seriousness of the pandemic and the efficacy of masks because that was the message they heard on the news.
“Their main source of news tends to be right-wing news sources,”
Greenfield said, noting the popularity of talk radio and conservative
news sites in the community. “The right-wing media downplays the
effectiveness of masks.”
This shows the fundamental mispractice of Judaism.
ReplyDeleteFor these folks, what they call Judaism is just their established routine. If the actual halacha tells them they have to change their routine, they ignore it because it's not about the Torah, it's about the routine which has replaced it.

דברים פרשת וזאת הברכה פרק לג פסוק כט
אַשְׁרֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי כָמוֹךָ עַם נוֹשַׁע בַּיקֹוָק מָגֵן עֶזְרֶךָ וַאֲשֶׁר חֶרֶב גַּאֲוָתֶךָ וְיִכָּחֲשׁוּ אֹיְבֶיךָ לָךְ וְאַתָּה עַל בָּמוֹתֵימוֹ תִדְרֹךְ:
Shabbath 118
“R. Johanan said in R. Jose's name: He who delights in the Sabbath is given an unbounded heritage, for it is written “If you refrain from trampling the sabbath, From pursuing your affairs on My holy day; If you call the sabbath delight ענג, The Lord’s holy day honored מכבד; And if you honor it וכבדתו and go not your ways מעשות דרכיך Nor look to your affairs ממצוא חפתיך, nor strike bargains ודבר דבר— Then you can seek the favor of the Lord אז תתענג על יקוק [Cf. Ps. 37.4; Job 22.26–27; 27.10.]. I will set you astride the heights of the earth, And let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.” (Isaiah 58:13-14). Not like Abraham, of whom it is written “Up, walk about the land, through its length and its breadth, for I give it to you.” (Genesis 13:17). Nor like Isaac of whom it is written, “Reside in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; I will assign all these lands to you and to your heirs, fulfilling the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.” (Ib. 26:3). But like Jacob, of whom it is written “Your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All the families of the earth shall bless themselves by you and your descendants.” (Ib. 28:14). R. Nahman b. Isaac said, He is saved from the servitude of the Diaspora: here it is written “Happy are you Israel! Who is like you, A people saved נושעby the Lord, Your protecting Shield מגן עזרך, your Sword triumphantחרב גאותך ! Your enemies shall come cringing ויכחשו איביך לך before you, And you shall tread on their backs במותימו תדרך.” (Deuteronomy 33:29).”
Mishnah Yoma Ch. 8:9
“R. Akiba said, Happy are ye, 0 Israel, before whom do ye cleanse yourselves and who cleanses you [from your transgressionsנ -? Your Father that is in heaven; as it is said “O Throne of Glory exalted from of old, Our Sacred Shrine! O Hope מקוה of Israel! O Lord! All who forsake You shall be put to shame, Those in the land who turn from You [lit. Me] Shall be doomed יכתבו [lit. inscribed] men, For they have forsaken the Lord, The Fount of living waters. Heal me, O Lord, and let me be healed; Save me, and let me be saved; For You are my glory תהלתי.” (Jeremiah 17:12-14), Just as the ritual bath מקוה cleanses the unclean so does the Holy One Blessed Be He cleanse Israel.”
