While heimishe people are dropping dead like flies in New York, Rabbi Yisroel Brog brings a Chasam Sofer and a Rebbe Akiva Eiger condemning those who closed the shuls smack during the "megifah"....
His proof from Akivah Eiger was that when there was a pandemic far greater then Covid-19, R' Akivah Eiger insisted on keeping the shuls open ... but doesn't mention how many people got killed because of that decision ......
What is interesting is what Rabbi Brog decided to leave out of the R' Akivah Eiger's psak....
R' Akivah Eiger requested that Soldiers ... Goyim.. and Police... Goyim ..be in the shuls to monitor social distancing
גאון הדורות רבי עקיבא איגר ,
in his famous letter to his תלמיד, הגה”ק רבי אליהו גוטמאכר מגריידיץ writes in his עצות for healthy actions during the מגפה of 1831-1832 that took place in Poland & Germany. When רע”א formulated תקנות for תפילות on ראש השנה ויום הכיפורים, he placed soldiers and police officers in each shul. The translation of the original German text is found in פסקים ותקנות רע”א דף ע”ב (you can find it on אוצר החכמה). I can’t imagine the awe and יראת הכבוד they had for רע”א, yet he insisted on police and army supervision! הפלא ופלא!
Rabbi Brog accuses frum people of "mesirah" taking photos of those who didn't care to spread death and sick ....
Rabbi Brog condemns Dr Deitchik (not by name , God forbid) and mocks others in the medical profession ...
Rabbi Brog asks why supermarkets can be open ...
Helllllllllow????
People have to shop to eat! ....but being in shul staying in close quarters for over 3 to 4 hours can ...yes kill you ...yes absolutely..
Is Rabbi Brog ready to take responsibility for the dead??
Is he taking the responsibility of the sick...?
See quote from R' Akiva Eiger that Rabbi Brog didn't tell you about..
To quote רע”א again, שם דף ע”ז (loose translation)
“one who transgresses (רע”א’s guidelines) he is liable (ה’ ישמור) with his life. Additionally, they are responsible for bringing tragedy (ה’ ישמור) by tripping others, and he will ultimately have to answer ליתן את הדין for himself and others .. and be scrupulously careful, for it is equal to שפיכת דמים (ח”ו).
Well let's hope this virus comes to a quick end and we won't have to listen to these self appointed "know it alls"
