No, I don't, he is not my rov, I am MO...

But he sounds like a voice of reason in the cacophonia of covid-deniers...

Nope, not my rav/not my community.

But I agree with him on this particular point.

Not so on his ruling that the community should take retribution on people reporting covid violations.

So, if he said it's pikuach nefesh, to stay away so not to infect others, why is he coming down hard now on people reporting those not complying? It's the same pikuach nefesh. Places/people that dont comply are infecting innocent people, some of which will die.

Shame on him for furthering the fear and shutting down Torah learning. One thing covid is good for, showing us who the real leaders are.

Uch, Im so sick hearing of more rabbis coming out now with what to do. We are already 8 months into this, and many people kept SD, and still got sick. So now what?? Go live in a cage on a remote island?

We see how listening to the govt. did nothing for us. Besides causing more anxiety. We had our schools closed, we wore the (stupid useless mask), and now they continue controlling us....its never ending..

Do the rabbis also follow politics? Do you realize where this is taking us? We have to follow a corrupt govt like blind sheep!

No. We cant control a world full of people. Are you gonna report the hispanic/muslim/haitian person thats not complying? Why is it important to report your jewish neighbor??

People are not dying because of compliance or not. Last I checked G-d is in charge of that. Lets stop predicting who will die from what..

Yes, but there is still a pandemic going on, so it is still relevant.

Does his psak have an expiration date?

Furthering the fear? Shutting dow torah learning? Here in Israel there has been a lock down and schools, yeshivot etc have been closed since before Rosh hashana. He is not the one who is shutting anything down. its the government.

I slightly suspect that he was misquoted or taken out of context on this "mosser" thing...

somehow it does not square with his general attitude...

I think it is good that a leader of the Eida charedit has understood how serious this disease can be...

I can't understand any frum jew who would play with the lives of vulnerable people...

Just now I learned that a great talmid chacham I knew personally died from Covid 19...

Why?
