That was lame. Oh the Jews did it they do everything.

Other Jews were against the restrictions. You're have a one track mind. Blame Jews for everything no matter what. You don't possess critical thinking skills.

NEW YORK — When Yosef Rapaport went to synagogue for the Jewish holiday of Purim in March, he brought some hand sanitizer with him. He had been reading some reports about a virus that was quickly spreading, so when someone tried to shake his hand, he declined.

“Oh, really? You’re so scared,” the Hasidic Jewish community leader recalled the person saying.

In hindsight, Rapaport said, even going into that synagogue could have been dangerous; at 66, he is considered high risk. He was right to be cautious. A month later, Rapaport’s brother died of complications from covid-19. Then his brother-in-law died. Just this week, he said a special prayer for a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor who had been diagnosed with the virus.

Yet, despite the many deaths in the Hasidic Jewish community since the beginning of the pandemic, Rapaport said a lot of his neighbors in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park continue to cast doubt on the severity of the virus and defy restrictions.

“There’s a perfect storm of misinformation,” he said.

Now, members of the Hasidic Jewish community are deeply upset over new restrictions announced by New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo earlier this week to contain the spread of the coronavirus, and they feel targeted by how the rules specifically single out houses of worship. Several synagogues and rabbis have filed a lawsuit asking for a temporary restraining order to bar the state of New York from enforcing its restrictions, saying the limits disrupt the religious observance of tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews, “depriving them of their religious worship and holiday observance.”

Other faith groups and congregations have also challenged similar coronavirus restrictions across the country. On Thursday, the Catholic diocese of Brooklyn filed a separate lawsuit against Cuomo for closing churches in certain neighborhoods where coronavirus rates have spiked.

Sitting in his son’s dining room in the neighborhood of Borough Park on Wednesday, Rapaport said that many people in his community are angry with city officials who allowed massive Black Lives Matter protests but are now cracking down on their religious gatherings.

Rapaport pointed to a recent statement from Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization, that called Cuomo’s “unanticipated and draconian limitations” on synagogue attendance concerning. They said that although Cuomo said he had “a good conversation” with Orthodox Jewish leaders, it was “largely a one-way monologue.”

“It’s astounding,” Rapaport said. “They’re calling the governor a liar. You really have to convince the leadership here if you want something done.”
