Not looking to good for Gov.. Murphy, this is the 5th federal court to rule against the state:, state does not the plan to appeal:
A federal judge in North Carolina on Saturday sided with conservative Christian leaders and blocked the enforcement of restrictions that Gov. Roy Cooper ordered affecting indoor religious services during the coronavirus pandemic.
The order from Judge James C. Dever III came days after two Baptist churches, a minister and a Christian revival group filed a federal lawsuit seeking to immediately block enforcement of rules covering religious services within the Democratic governor’s executive orders. Dever agreed with the plaintiffs, who argued that the limits violate their rights to worship freely and treat churches differently from retailers and other secular activities.

@Amil, I was curious about the incident that you had, I went onto the ADL Seattle chapter website and there was no listing of such an event going back to 2015, that stuff would have made the report.
FYI, there was a fatal stabbing in Monsey on Chanukah and a double murder in Jersey City and numerous assaults’ in NYC perpetuated by, drumroll please, African Americans, NAACP organized a blockade of the frum stores on Friday Afternoon,
A African American group would amass on the lawns of local frum school board members an harass them, therefore……….. Nothing.

@Abba, I know of a few wealth people who would fund the .25 a copy for the 66, 70, and 90 and its only since march properly only like $1000.
@Amil lets concentrate on the message not on the messenger, for example the NAACP decided to stage a blockade of the local kosher supermarket right before Shabbos to inconvenience frum Jews, we can sadly find fault with a lot of groups, lets talk about tattling on your neighbors not whos idea this was,

@amil, a broken clock is right two times a day

and some people comment even if they are not old enough to vote

n0m, I will answer you in 15 years when you are no longer a teen with a teen state of mind

@charliehall, that is the gist of the whole case, the plaintiffs in the case Robinson and Knopfler are suing for what they see as governmental overreach, is it? it up a Judge to decide and it properly go to appeal and this is being fast tracked. this is what the Sixth Circuit Court Of Appeals wrote: ” The breadth of the ban on religious services, together with a haven for numerous secular exceptions, should give pause to anyone who prizes religious freedom,” the panel wrote,

In refence to your second comment, We are Jews and US citizens, we are afforded rights under the bill of rights and its amendments, Frum Jews are not whining they are exercising a right given in the US constitution. [if I remember right Charlie, you are a Canadian and therefore may not be familiar that US system].

In the Jacobson case it warned against arbitrary or oppressive regulations to be implemented, FYI this a 1905 case and during that time the courts were not very concerned about individual liberties, during that term the courts threw out laws allowing collective bargaining and limiting worker hours.

Judaism is about obligations, only a Rabbi know what obligation takes precedence over others. For that consult YOUR rov, and YOUR rov should pasken for YOU and YOU ONLY.
Some feel that if you are antibody positive and maintain social distance you can daven indoors, other feel the outdoor minyan is that way to go, others feel beyidus is the way to go, yet other feel that you need a secured a secure bunker in a island off the coast of New Zeeland.

Huh? how did we morph from a freedom of religion or more precisely a government overreach issue to paycheck???, totally lost you on that.
