So the Holy Rebbe actually said that "the wedding" will "destroy the virus," (see the notice below that was sent to the Belzer community....) and his naive sheeple believe him...
Just two weeks ago, a rav of that community died of the virus, and in Israel, the Belzer community has unfortunately the highest number of infected people, but the Rebbe could care less... he knows better than anyone else... I sincerely hope, he does .... but he better start questioning the hashgacha of the Jail system, since he or some of his close cronies may have to spend some time there.
Police on Thursday launched a criminal investigation into a mass ultra-Orthodox wedding in Jerusalem held in violation of coronavirus regulations limiting gatherings.
Some 2,000 people are estimated to have attended Wednesday’s wedding for the grandson of the spiritual leader of the Belz Hasidic sect, with images from the event showing thousands of people sitting next to each other, indoors, without keeping distance or wearing masks.
The celebrations began outdoors, where participants were filmed wearing masks. The event then moved indoors. Channel 12 reported that organizers attempted to bar people from filming the indoor celebrations, but the footage leaked out.
An investigation was also opened into suspected licensing offenses.
“We view severely the blatant violation of the regulations in a way that endangers the public’s health, and we’ll continue to enforce the regulations for the well-being of the public and its health,” police said.
The police announcement of the investigation came as Channel 12 news reported that United Torah Judaism MK Yisrael Eichler, a member of Belz, attended the wedding.
He refused to comment.
The network also reported that organizers had asked on Tuesday for permission to hold a protest gathering in support of police, but the request was denied after it turned out the planned demonstration was meant to serve as cover for the wedding.
Under the current government rules, weddings are capped at 20 people outdoors; protests are exempt from limitations, though social distancing must be observed.
Earlier Thursday, Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion pushed back against criticism of the wedding, claiming ongoing protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outside his official residence in the capital pose a graver danger to public health.
Israel has struggled in recent months to contain the coronavirus outbreak, confirming close to 2,000 new infections a day. The country had 25,285 active cases as of Thursday night, according to Health Ministry figures.
The protests against Netanyahu’s alleged corruption and handling of the pandemic have grown in recent weeks, with some of the demonstrations drawing over 10,000 people.
