'COVID-19 banished Jews from synagogue for talking on phone during davening'


Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, the most senior non-hassidic, ultra-Orthodox rabbi in the world, has said that Jews have been “banished” from synagogues by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the offense given to God by using cell phones in synagogue.
In a letter published in the daily ultra-Orthodox Yated Neeman newspaper, the rabbi called for synagogue administrators to ban the use of cell phones in the prayer hall when prayer in synagogues is permitted again.
The letter was also signed by Kanievsky’s colleague in the leadership of the ultra-Orthodox community, Rabbi Gershon Edelstein.
Addressing all synagogue administrators in general, Kanievsky wrote that “For our many sins it has been many weeks since we were banished from our synagogues and study halls, like a servant who came to pour wine for his master and the master poured the jug on his face.”
Continued the rabbi “It appears that this is a sign from Heaven for the sin in which the sanctity of synagogues has been cheapened by having cell phones open and speaking on them while people are praying, and this is great disrespect for prayer and the sanctity of synagogues, and is in total opposition to Jewish law.”
Kanievsky said that synagogue administrators should therefore completely ban people from praying in synagogue while their phones are turned on, and said that they should warn worshipers about this issue.
He said that administrators in Israel and around the world should ensure that a cupboard or other storage facility outside of the prayer hall for worshipers to deposit their cell phones.

  1. absolutely not,the real reason Hashem threw us out of his shull's,is because when our young soldiers who who literally are ready to give up their lives every day in order to protect their God given land and their brothers and sisters,and when these angels wanted to enter a shull to say kadish after a departed parent,what did those so called chareidim do,well we all know the answer,these filthy ignorant savage RESHAIM beat him up and threw him out of shull,and on top of it called him a Nazi,
    Now did we hear any protest from our so called gedolim,no it was sha-shtil.
    This my friend is the reason all of us where thrown out of our shull's the world over, makes much mor sense "
