An estimated 10,000 people are expected to gather together in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, on Monday to celebrate the wedding of the grandchild of the Satmar hassidic dynasty's grand rabbi, local CBS-affiliate WBCS reported Saturday.
The
wedding of the the grandchild of Satmar Grand Rabbi Zalman Leib
Teitlebaum get married is set to draw guests from both Williamsburg and
Rockland County, raising fears of a potential further spread of coronavirus in the area, according to WCBS.
New
York has seen a renewed spike in coronavirus cases, particularly in a
few notable hot spots, such as in some ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, and
while the wedding is not in one of these hot spots, worries still
persist.
Regarding the Satmar wedding and in regard to the chareidim howling that the governor does not want to discuss matters with them, I think the reason is that he has no one to talk to. The chareidim are playing a game of good cop, bad cop, with the chassidim doing what they please and Aguda putting up a front as if they are responsible people. The governor is wise enough not to fall for that nonsense.
ReplyDeleteIn similar vein, Gamzu refused to allow more people in shuls for a long time despite politicians' pleading, knowing very well u can't trust the chareidim an inch.
Even more so regarding the Breslevers' promises they would keep distancing in Uman. A nechtige tog. They were videoed in Uman throwing down barriers set up by the police.
My mashgiach once said there is nothing more dangerous than people doing things lesheim Shomayim.
