After the decision to limit the gathering at events to 50 people, hall owners warn: "The significance - the collapse of the industry" • The reason: It does not pay to hold an event
Event hall owners were furious tonight (Thursday) for the decision to limit the events to up to 50 people. According to them, it is a decision that will close all the halls and banquets because of financial insecurity. They continue to request assistance from the state and say to the government: "Shut-up".

The Association of Halls and Event Gardens said: "Make no mistake - the government's decision to reduce the number of guests to 50 means closing the industry. "And no more promises and commissions - we demand money in the pockets that will rescue 150,000 industrial workers from disaster."
David Gadz, the head chef and representative of the Gaia Event Park owner at Beit Oved Junction, said in response: "It's a death sentence for the industry. We all go to the US again and it's a hard time for couples. Both the couples and we planned to work until 9.7, the goods were ordered. Workers have already been assigned to work. The general and fixed expenses of another week and a half of work have already started. They said they were closing in at 9.7 and suddenly decided from now on? It's not clear when. "
Regarding the possibility of having a 50-person event, he says: "It's impossible - I can't lift the switch with the air-conditioner for 50 people. No such option. You can't make a living like that and you can't work like that. Believe it will happen. The kick in the abdomen is much more painful. The implications are harsh.
The event owners also claim that the focus of morbidity is not in the event gardens. They claim that the event gardens are among the only places that abide by the rules. "The event gardens are meticulous and invested a lot of money for all the guidelines and purple characters they have requested. The focus is on the big parties in Tel Aviv on the rooftops, the beaches, the writers, the routine. It's a disgrace that the focus of morbidity is on public transport and there is nothing done."

Yishai Chen, owner of the Haifa princess halls, argues that there is no sense in the decision: "It is a disproportionate decision and of no proportion. There is no reference to the size of the place where they gather. How is it possible that a court of 1200 square meters will equal 400 square meters? ? It is not possible for a 100 square meter cafe to contain 50 people and a 600 square meter garden to accommodate 50 people.
He adds: "It is impossible to understand the implications of this at all. It is simply irresponsible. To date, we have not received a shekel from the state and cost us a quarter of a million to rebuild the business. There are halls and gardens that are their death certificate. Back to the USSR. I don't know if couples will agree to have 50 people weddings, but it's really not economic. It is a net to keep the business alive and well and hope for a better future. "
