 Some Haredi yeshiva day schools in Brooklyn are asking teachers not to get tested for COVID-19, and also not sharing information about students who test positive, to try to avoid school closures, said three sources with direct knowledge of specific schools said in interviews.

The news comes amid an uptick in COVID-19 cases in six Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods which include the “Ocean Parkway Cluster” of Borough Park, Midwood and Bensonhurst — named after the avenue that links them, according to a Department of Health statement issued Tuesday.

  1. The Reformative Jews skip the verse on gay intercourse when they read the Torah. These yeshivos skip the verse "Am chacham v'navon" verse when they read theirs. Who's really worse?

  2. Do they skip the verse in Reform? perhaps they should skip most of the Torah then.
