Interesting Psak: selichot via video
The government, actually the Corona Cabinet, met yesterday to discuss several issues including a plan for how many people would be allowed to attend selichot at the kotel in the final days leading up to Rosh Hashana, a time when the Kotel is normally packed with tens of thousands of people at night.
The Cabinet released a statement to the public with its decision.
Regarding the plan for prayers at the Kotel:
- up to 8000 people allowed
- dividing the people present into 18 capsules
- masks, enforced by ushers\
- a psak haacha enabling participation in selichot services via a screen - under the auspices of the Western Wall heritage Foundation
- PR, recommending only recovered and vaccinated attend, promoting the psak halacha (above) with listed times, publicizing restrictions
- police directing the crowds through the Old City
Yes, you read that right. the government issued a psak halacha that one can attend selichot via zoom or Skype or Whatsapp or FB Live or other digital services.... first we get a prime minister who wears a kipa, then the Prime Minister recently posted a photo of himself davening with talis and teflin, then he released a video of himself saying a dvar torah, and now the government is issuing piskei halacha! What's next?
