"Israel Today" photographers went to Bnei Brak and to a hundred gates and returned with fascinating documentation • Problematic gatherings or adherence to the guidelines? The answer is - both and expect

The Ministry of Health guidelines and their enforcement in the ultra-Orthodox public have been intense in recent days. Documentation of the law violators was published in all media outlets, and on the other hand, the comments of residents of the ultra-Orthodox cities, especially Bnei Brak and the Mea She'arim neighborhood in Jerusalem, were widely published.

"Israel Today" photographers set out Wednesday for the city of Bnei Brak and Mea Shearim, the two most significant centers of concern in Corona. They documented abnormalities in their compliance and, on the other hand, their significant existence. Is that enough? Not at all sure, but there are no doubt that at least in a large number of cases empty streets were seen, among them particularly central ones such as the Sabbath square in Jerusalem.

In the ultra-Orthodox cities, Pashquilas were hung where the names of the dead from Corona in the Jewish communities of the world and car leaflets clarified the instructions and how to act. The members of the Jerusalem faction, who often do not obey the instructions, underestimate the exit to the street. In the streets, there were mainly people who bought food and essential products, but indeed, here and there, mirrors of forbidden crowds were also discovered, just like in other cities around the country.
