JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Avrohom Linshe, a 25-year-old Belz Chassid from Jerusalem, published a Twitter clip recently in which he queried why he could not invite all of his family to his wedding despite the fact that demonstrations continue unabated outside the residence of Prime Minister Netanyahu despite the fact that many demonstrators are not wearing face masks or maintaining social distancing. Linshe said that “if there is a pandemic, we should be cancelling all events and not allowing demonstrations and if they are allowed, weddings should also be allowed to take place with many participants.”

In an attempt to allow all of his extended family to attend the wedding, Linshe published an invitation in which he described the wedding as a “demonstration of support and identification.”
Followers who identify with Linshe’s predicament told him that this ploy had worked in New York when police tried to disrupt Minyanim and were told that they were a “George Floyd protest”.
Even if you call him a chochem, he remains a naar and tipish, and maybe even a rodef if many become sick and chellela are niftar.
I suppose he could if he wanted to maybe kill some members of his family and community.
This is upsetting. Who knows how many people could get sick if he went forward with his plan?
Only the raba is allowed to make big wedding? Instead to be role model to make small wedding they do the opposite, what do u except from his followers
Why would someone want the possibility of harming family and friends.
Postpone it. or just have the Rabbi and the couple there. Video tape it. But even that is dangerous.
He should review his Rebbes recent irresponsible statements regarding the pandemic and then ask why should he be trusted.
well if the weeding is outdoors like protests are , haven’t we confirmed that its airborne and only poses a danger indoors? Aren’t the portests in the USA clear study cases where we see outdoors events are safe and don’t spread the risk?
Can anyone please explain the difference between an outdoor protest where yes they often hold hands, camp put and an outdoor wedding?
Well if New Jersey is anything to go by, A Choshuva Rov in Lakewood holding a Minyan with facemasks in his garden is arrested, handcuffed and manhandled into a police car. On the other hand if you are out to support BLM and loot and burn down businesses – go right ahead. The only face-covering worn at the BLM ‘marches’ are by Antifa arsonists and thugs in order to avoid CCTV and remain incognito.
This good Chossid is simply pointing out the obvious hypocrisy of the Covid policies and enforcement orders and those speaking lashon hora and motzei shem ra about him (or any other yid) should be reminded that they are most responsible for delaying the coming of Moschiach
