JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says the government’s COVID-19 booster vaccination drive will help allow the country to avoid a full lockdown during the coming Jewish holiday season.

Religious and secular Israelis alike mark Jewish new year Rosh Hashana on Monday night. Jews will also mark the fast day of Yom Kippur and the weeklong Sukkot festival over the next few weeks.

The holiday season is marked by traditional family gatherings as well as packed services in synagogues. The government has urged families to avoid large gatherings. And synagogue prayers will be limited to small groups of vaccinated people.

Bennett told his Cabinet on Sunday that unvaccinated children shouldn’t be brought to synagogues.

Last year the holiday season led to a spike in coronavirus infections that resulted in a full lockdown.

Shtisim-nonsense!! Potato chips is the cure for covid. Increase your salt intake which stops hyponatremia on top of the other things you’re doing and you don’t have to worry about covid. Don’t forget to pray it helps.

Does Bennett really think that the Chareidi community is going to listen to anything he says? If he really wants to establish some trust he will step in and stop Lieberman from his cruel cuts in child care that is specifically geared towards hurting the Chareidi community.
