Milhouse: Government cabinet ministers “paskin” politically all the time regarding their areas of responsibility and that comes with the turf. I don’t recall you ever condemning some of the more outrageous and vile commentary coming from some of the religious party cabinet ministers and their appointees regarding the actions taken by secular professionals acting on behalf of the government. I could care less regarding Gamzu’s opinions on the merits of Breslov going to Uman or the hashkafah and minhagim of any other chassidus. I don’t anticipate Gamzu paskining on the hashgacha of the knesset cafeteria or whether to say hallel on the day the first Covid vaccine is administered. He is making his decision the basis of not wanting to have thousands of frum travelers coming back to EY from an area with high levels of viral infection and returning to frum communities already struggling with the virus. Sometimes, mesiras nefesh is defined by foregoing something that is important to you for the benefit of the tzibur.
