At a meeting attended by Corona Superintendent Prof. Roni Gamzo and his staff, Medical Adviser Rabbi Yossi Arabich asked about the opening of synagogues.
Gamzo explained that he sees no reason to stop a quorum of worshipers indoors, as long as they keep a distance mask and open windows as is also allowed in the house.
