    @Abba, You don’t need to be a lawyer to file a foil, you just ask for the records anyone can do it.
    @n0m, you want my opinion on this? I think if your going to report on someone be prepared to have your name exposed so the people know all about you. If you cant handle that then don’t report your friends and neighbors

    Interesting the Court of Appeal in the 6th circuit came down with a ruling on Friday afternoon allowing unlimited access to houses of worship so long as they maintain social distancing, this is the highest level of review so far.

    PS n0m when I was a teen I thought I knew all the answers and as the years past I saw how little I knew, nothing personal its just part of growing up.

    @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.

    Take the 8-12 K that it cost and give three quarters of that the keren yesomim campaigns and with the remainder send her to a local one, people managed with simple weddings, bucherim can manage without the zman in EY and so can the sem girls.
    One of the silver linings of covid 19 is that we discovered that we can make due with less.

    Milhouse, I think using the police case as a precedence case is pretty weak, the defendant will argue that police is lack of reasonable accommodations as opposed to discretion of emergency powers,
    Don’t get me wrong I think the Robinson v Murphy is on solid ground but the police case is not a precedence,
    Just my hunch, the state will offer a compromise rather then risk a TRO

    “most of his talmidim probably accept his pask”, well your not a talmid if you don’t follow your rebbis pask, and you wrote MOST and PROBARLY meaning that you don’t know for sure.
    So I stand by what I said, no one besides him [ and “probably most” of his talmidim] hold this way.

    Joesph,
    One is the legal entity for example your driving down Route 42 and hit a pothole and cracked a rim [ CTL with prior notice etc etc] you can sue the state or the governmental agency.
    If the elected official does something in his capacity of office like banning the worship then you sue the individual acting in his capacity not the state or municipal corporation.
    CTL. Disclamer I forgot I have lawyers in the room and was not explicit enough in the description of the defendant. LOL

    In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, every state in the United States has issued guidelines or orders limiting social interaction. But these rules don’t always apply evenly when it comes to in-person worship services and other religious gatherings.
    In fact, only 10 states are preventing in-person religious gatherings in any form, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of recent state-level regulations. The list includes California, where a group of churches are suing Gov. Gavin Newsom in federal court over what they claim is a violation of their First Amendment right to free exercise of religion.

    Perhaps with such litigation in mind, most other states have carved out exemptions for religious gatherings in their stay-at-home orders or other directives in an attempt to balance religious freedom concerns with safe social distancing practices. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that gatherings of more than 10 people be canceled, while in gatherings that do take place, individuals should remain at least 6 feet apart at all times.

    In some cases, states have deemed religious worship “essential,” in the same category as food shopping and health care. These states include Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee, among others.
    Roughly a third of states (15) are allowing religious gatherings to continue without any limit on their size.
    Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia have specified in their orders that religious gatherings can take place, but only if they are limited to 10 people or fewer. This includes Rhode Island, where gatherings are limited to no more than five people. Two additional states, Connecticut and Oregon, limit religious gatherings to 50 and 25 people, respectively. Kentucky, meanwhile, is prohibiting “mass gatherings” – including faith-based ones – but does not specify how many people constitute a mass gathering.

    CTL: State is being sued in federal court so the state does not need to waive in this case. I assume you have pacer access if you practice in federal courts, the action is Robinson v Murphy if you want to read up on the case.
    @godal the plaintiff is seeking a TRO and a preliminary injunction against this, those cases are fast tracked and they get a ruling in a matter of days for the most part.
    PS the same lawyer sued the Governor of Illinois [Cassell v Pritzker] for same reasons and the governor removed religious services from banned activities rather then go to court.

    @yehudayona, one of the big factors the drives Covid 19 is density, New York State has 62 counties [ including the 5 boros each being a separate county] on those counties 51 out of the 62 have a population density of less then 500 per mile whereas New Jersey has 21 counties and only 7 have density of less then 500 per mile.
    That should answer your question

    I disagree, the norm up to 25 years ago a one man band and a singer was not socially acceptable now its very much the norm, for the foreseeable future [next 6 months or longer] social distancing will be the norm and big wedding not longer be the norm with a possible perminate change.
    I am sure the attendance at the peasch program will not be the same as last year for many years to come.
    Crowded chol hamoed venues wont be the same at least for the near term,
