200 members of the Beis Matisyahu Yeshiva in Bnei Brak tested positive for COVID-19 in the past few days, about a third of the entire student body.
Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Baruch Weisbecker, who himself fell sick with the virus, allegedly initially told students not feeling well to stay in their rooms and not to test for the virus and students claim that this is the source of the high numbers of infections in the yeshiva. Sources close to the Rosh Yeshiva denied the allegations.
80 of the sick students have been evacuated to a hotel in Kfar Tabor, and the rest are due to be evacuated to another hotel in the coming days but students at the yeshiva are worried that this is all too late. “If they continue like this and don’t provide an immediate response, the numbers will just keep rising” warned one student.
Another student said that students strictly maintained coronavirus regulations but the yeshiva was still very crowded and thus the mass infection was inevitable despite the fact that the main hall was divided into compartments.
In response to the outbreak, the Bnei Brak municipality closed the street where the yeshiva is situated and is only allowing local residents to enter and leave their houses.
The yeshiva is considered one of the most prominent yeshivas of the Lithuanian schools of study. A number of other yeshivas were also closed after coronavirus outbreaks in Beitar Illit and Kiryat Malachi.

Who is Rav Weisbecker affiliated with?
ReplyDeletePeleg are out of their minds & may not even have a reason why there are pro-infection.
The Agudah Fressers are pro-infection because of the criminally insane Philly Kaminetzkys who are mostly driven by extreme anti-vaxx meshugassen so the more infections the less likely governments will force a vaccine. Philly has been ganging up with Agudah Fresser Gerrorist Litzman (& sometimes Aryeh Deri, depending on his mood) to use the gangster Yanky Kanievsky as the tool to manipulate his grandfather into making bogus proclamations that they dictate.
Satmar has been pushing as many Chassidishe as they can to disregard all safety precautions. They do have a handful of followers of their extreme anti-Zionism in the Litvishe velt. They have actually been conferring with Philly throughout the pandemic and the Aronis are harboring the Philly mesivta in KJ as it's easier to illegally run a school in NY than in PA. The Yated of a week ago had a picture of Sholom Kaminetzky & his h.s. boys sitting with a bunch of Satmar honchos at some kind of shindig. No one had masks on & they were crammed together like sardines, no distancing.
We were going to comment on this Jealous Fresser who will not be accepted or recognized by any Rosh Hayeshiah, Rebbeh, Chasidus and/or organization, here or in Israel.
ReplyDeleteBut once you read the venom in his post no comment is necessary. It speaks very well for itself.
