Rischa Daraissa-29-Can we blame the Chasidim for the frum veldt's lack of uniformity in following social distancing guidelines,or is it a byproduct of living in large heterogeneous enclaves?

After patting themselves on the back for anticipating yet another brouhaha in the social media world over the lack of representation of women,the Rabbis discuss why congregants in many of the Shuls in areas of a large Jewish populace(Monsey,Borough Park,Lakewood)are in large part not conforming to the social distancing guidelines of the WHO and CDC .The pair spar over the extent Chasidim are to blame for the Shul irregularities in Bechhofer's Monsey.Kivelevitz attributes what Bechhofer is seeing to the general trends that have been documented,showing that Americans are less inclined to follow scientific health advice than persons in other countries.Bechhofer questions Kivelevitz as to why in his hometown of Elizabeth,New Jersey the Jewish populace are conforming to the strictures mandated by the city's Rabbis.Please respond with your input to these issues at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
