  • Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, the Recent Uptick in Covid-19 Prompts
    1 Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, The recent uptick in Covid-19 prompts this letter. The Torah requires that we avoid dangerous activity. The protection afforded to Mitzvah performance does not apply when danger is prevalent (Pesachim 8b). In all gatherings, masks covering everyone's mouth and nose must be worn. In addition, appropriate social distance between attendees (except for members of the same household) must be maintained. Hands must be washed with soap and water or with proper hand sanitizer. On Shabbos and Yom Tov liquid soap or sanitizer may and must be used. On Simchas Torah, the usual hakafos and dancing are prohibited. At the discretion of every local rav, hakafos may be limited or eliminated. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Upon advice from medical experts, we recommend that the sefer Torah not be passed from one person to another. Preferably, one person should circle the bima 7 times. After each hakafa the tzibur should join in an appropriate nigun and "dance" in place. The practice of everyone getting an aliya is a minhag, not a din, and may be adjusted or eliminated at the discretion of the local rav (see links here and here for similar horaos}. Similarly, at weddings the usual dancing is prohibited. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Chasanim and their families are urged to limit the size of weddings and to insist upon and enforce masking and appropriate distancing by all their guests. Adherence to all the above is required by the halacha which demands great caution to protect life and good health.

Twesrski, Rabbi Yakov Haber, Rabbi Yaakov Neuberger, Rabbi Michael Rosensweig, Rabbi Yonason Sacks, Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky, Rabbi Mayer Twersky, Rabbi Mordechai Willig & Rabbi Benjamin Yudin Introduction For - כי ידעתיו למען אשר יצוה את בניו ואת ביתו אחריו ושמרו דרך ה‘“ I (Hashem) have loved him (Avraham Avinu), because he com- mands his children and his household after him that they keep the way of Hashem” (Bereishis 18:19.) The transmission of ourmesora has been a defining mission ofKlal Yisroel since the time of Avraham Avinu, and continues to be a central fo- cus in our individual and communal avodas Hashem. When trying to de- termine the best approach to chinuch for an individual or a community, at least three sets of factors must be carefully considered. The first set of fac- tors is comprised of the timeless values and priorities established by the Torah and explicated by Chazal. An unwavering dedication to mesora, the primacy of talmud Torah, emuna, chessed, kedusha, and all other Torah truisms define our ultimate goals inchinuch , as they do in all aspects of life, and provide the lens through which the other two factors are viewed. In addition to our timeless Torah values, successful chinuch has to take into account the contemporary challenges that exist in each generation and community. Current realities and problems, such as egocentrism, the ar- rogant superiority of youth, substance abuse, a rising divorce rate among religious families, children at risk, child abusers, and the unfettered hedo- nism of our surrounding society must be fully understood, and our chi- nuch efforts must be properly calibrated to overcome these challenges.
