September 11, 2020   

This morning (Friday), a letter was published in the Haredi dailies from the heads of Lithuanian yeshivahs, against those who are complicit in intentional infection in yeshivahs. The Academy for the Ultra-Orthodox: This is why everyone is flocking to study a prestigious degree from home The letter, written "on the advice of the rabbis and rabbis of the Hagar Kanievsky and the Hagar Edelstein" and addressed to "the Torah scholars and holy yeshiva students," states: "We warn that both from the perspective of the obligation to preserve the body and soul and from the perspective of continuing their spiritual ascension, it is obligatory for everyone to be very careful not to become infected or infect others with the disease." The heads of the yeshiva add and write: "We have heard from the experts who deal with this matter, and we have also unfortunately observed in practice that many of the young people who became ill, even after their recovery, have not yet fully regained their strength, and this harms all areas of life, primarily concentration and perseverance in the Holy Torah, and those who are in the public are more responsible to be careful and warn about this." The letter is signed by the rabbis of the great Rabbis, Rabbi Yitzhak Scheiner, Rabbi Baruch Mordechai Ezrachi, Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Schlesinger, Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, Rabbi David Cohen and Rabbi Shraga Shteinman. It should be noted that within two weeks, nearly 4,000 patients were identified in the yeshiva. The capsule scheme, which operates according to the Yeshiva Council's control center, includes 140 yeshivahs and over 25,000 students.
