    the total amount of people there was 500 according to NYPD so 20 x 25 =500, not very plausible.

    I was curious how widespread this idiotic stuff was, so I googled Tikken Haolam and Modern Orthodox and it was sad to see how many places embrace the altar of PC

    @CharlieHall, I agree with you about Herman Wouk zl and BTW he use to give a daily shiur in Chabad of Palm Springs.
    Sadly the idiocy of “tikun holam ” has afflicted the MO community as well, this is part of the mission statement of the MO organization Porat
    ADVOCATE
    for a Modern Orthodoxy willing to engage diverse perspectives on issues relating to religious Zionism, gender equality, conversion to Judaism, agunah, the synthesis of secular culture and Jewish tradition, rabbinic authority, spirituality, relations with other denominations and faiths, and the place of gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals within our community.
    REVITALIZE
    religious spirit, enhance learning opportunities, and deepen halachic observance, with particular focus on ethics, justice, and tikkun olam.

    @Charlie Hall,
    The point is with both groups they are part of the national party and hardly non partisan.
    Now lets look at Andy Kim’s record on Israel.
    Twice signed a letter condemning Israel.
    Is against moving the embassy
    J Street Endorsed.
    Is a a member of the progressive caucus that consistently opposes Israel.

    @ Moshe, that is what the Jerk of a Mayor is worried about. who cares what this lame duck opinion is, there is shooting in the streets, the city finances are in shambles and people are leaving the city in droves, he managed to undo 25 years of progress.

    @Charlie Hall,
    DMFI PAC= Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, The Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) is a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party’s membership
    What a shocker a Democrat lobby group endorses a Democrat, and just as shocking is that the Republican Jewish Coalition endorsed David Richter his Republican opponent.
    More important is that Andy Kim is J Street endorsed

    @n0m, exactly my point, most of the area affected are not frum areas or areas that were busy following the rules to the letter of the law yet they still got it

    @n0m,
    Kew Gardens has been very meticulous about following the rules.
    Edgemere is not the frum area of Rockaway, and FR and 5 Towns are busy with closing shuls etc.
    Williamsburg has a large hipster population
    That leaves midwood/ bp.
    Therefore…………………….?

    Our Shul was full, both mens and esras nashim, a group of people did not feel comfortable in the shul and they all chipped in and rented a tent and put it in the shuls driveway and kept 6 ft. apart and everyone was happy.

    @zahavsdad, a closer analogy would be someone drinking chol akum, some hold it is muttar and some hold it is ussar.
    Or better yet, some people would rather daven biychus then daven in a open orthodox place with “Female rabbis”, gay marriage is given a mazel tov and adherence to certain halacha is questionable, and some people find it great.

    “There are plenty of good reasons not to wear a mask that would not effect others. (Recently recovered and antibodies, tested negative a few days before and haven’t been anywhere, plan to maintain a six foot distance etc.) If a shul requires masks then you must wear a mask. If they don’t then one should not be forced to wear one. And if that makes some feel uncomfortable they can either go around asking people why they aren’t wearing it to determine if it’s safe or not take the risk and find another shul.”
    Exactly my point, There is a shul in my neighborhood that is outdoor only with six foot distance and everyone must wear masks and gloves and bring own siddur, down the block is a shul that is operating normal. No one is forcing anyone to go anyplace, its ones choice.
    Can I get Corona in spite of my having a high antibody count? who knows, but I can also drive down the highway and get hit head on by an 18 wheeler

    @Syag, I have antibodies and so do my wife and kids, My FIL wants to wear his mask to shul
    INSPITE of him having gotten covid, that fine with me, he make his decision and I make mine.
    You want to lock yourself in some underground bunker, that is fine with me, you want to wear a mask and watch from a distance I am fine with that too the choice is yours.
    Before I jet ski, go whitewater rafting or snowboarding I know of the risk that are involved.
    If you don’t feel 100% comfortable in a room full of dancing people on Yom Tov, stay at home, that fine with me.
    I plan to thank Hashem for the Torah and dance throughout Yom Tov, seesu vsimchu bsimchas torah

    @ Syag & Moshe, I never tested positive and have antibody counts that is off the charts, I donated Covid Plasma six times and the blood banks keep calling me to donate again and again [ i am not going to get in this whole juvenile argument if you can get it twice because its pure speculation],
    You want to stay in a underground bunker and shiver be my guest, but don’t try to shove your OPINION down my throat.

    @Abba S, quite a number of jobs can not be given to third world county simply because it is far to complex, for example telemedicine requires a state licensed doctor, Insurance requires a state license, Social Worker, Engineer, etc. Yes some back office work can be farmed out off shore but that stuff was happening pre covid.
    As to the evictions by the time the moratorium runs out they will owe as least a year plus the process takes at lease another year so we are looking at 2 years of back rent, to complicate matters a lot of the lower income tenants work in jobs that they cant work remotely, i.e. office cleaners, hotel employees, restaurants, retail employees and many of those job disappeared.
    I am scared NYC will look like it did in the 1970s with people abandoning buildings.

    The most off the beaten track were I met a Jew was in Oaxaca Mexico in the mountains 300 miles south of Mexico City when I was walking down the street and someone came running out of a store yelling rak regah, turns out he was an Israeli who opened a electronic store there.
