Ultra-Orthodox newspapers on Thursday condemned Israel’s coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu and called for his ouster, after he denounced a prominent rabbi who reportedly told yeshiva students not to get tested for the disease.
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, considered among the most important
leaders of the non-Hasidic branch of ultra-Orthodox Jewry in Israel,
expressed concern that the testing process would take students away from
their studies and that positive results would require those who came in
contact with the patient to quarantine, further disrupting yeshiva
life, according to the Kikar HaShabat website.
There may be some merits to this statement, but he must surely know how the secular will react to it. They will accuse hareidi of ignoring the and safety of the klal.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is like trying to handle a spoiled child who insists on playing with matches and screams bloody murder when you won't let him. At some point, isn't just giving him a big smack across the face the only answer?

ReplyDeleteRead straight, this has got to be the stupidest logic I've read all week.
They don't care. When you have Daas Torah, you don't have to care what other people think.
