Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, preparations are being completed in Chasidic communities for large groups of Chasidim to spend the holiday with their rabbis and teachers.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year several Chasidic groups have come out with clear instructions regarding who is allowed to attend the mass prayers.
According to Kikar Hashabbat, Rabbi Itche Meir Tauman, a leading Gerrer rabbi, has ordered that anyone who is eligible for a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine receive it immediately. Those who are unvaccinated will not be allowed to pray in the synagogue, he said.
Rabbi Tauman also said that anyone who has a Green Pass will be able to receive an entrance permit so that the guards will be able to allow him in, and that children over 12 years of age must also be vaccinated in order to enter the synagogue.
Yeshiva students who have a Green Pass will receive a special bracelet from their yeshiva supervisors, and anyone who has symptoms in the coming week will not be allowed to enter the synagogue on Rosh Hashanah.
