NEW YORK (VINnews) — The NY Times is reporting that New York City will mandate all employees at yeshivos and other private schools to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

According to the mandate, Rabbeim, faculty, teachers, and other staff members will have to show proof they received the first dose of a vaccine by Dec. 20.
The guidance, announced Thursday, is expected to affect hundreds of schools and 56,000 employees. The mandate does not appear to affect students.
There is expected to be pushback from Yeshivos, and frum organizations and institutions will likely file a lawsuit to fight the mandate.
In a statement, Mayor Bill de Blasio said, “We’re doing everything in our power to protect our students and school staff, and a mandate for nonpublic school employees will help keep our school communities and youngest New Yorkers safe.”
Employees at public schools were already required to get vaccinated, and more than 95 percent of the Department of Education’s employees have done so. Students are not required to be vaccinated. The city also requires proof of vaccination for indoor dining, entertainment and gyms.
In its report, the Times, which is known to be biased, went out of its way to bash the frum communities, claiming that the level of vaccination in those areas are lower than the rest of the city.
The paper also implied that Mayor de Blasio is beholden to frum communities, saying: “Mayor de Blasio has longstanding political ties to the ultra-Orthodox community and has faced criticism over his handling of issues including oversight of yeshivas and a circumcision ritual, metzitzah b’peh.”
He is beholden!!! All the garbage askonim tell you to vote against the tora!! If we do not wake up and STOP LISTENING to all these shkotzim
we will be left with nothing .
Nebach rav moshe meir weiss told his yidden in lakewood to vote republican as the Torah would not be hurt . However the Agudah came crashing dowing on him!!!! Sick people!! I can tell you know that these rabbonim and askonim in ny are hurting yidden from the lowest income bracket. No one should ever listen to them again. And dont worry no one will fight for you or spend a dime on these lawsuits that are bound to lose. To hell with all these leaders!!!
So can someone please explain to me why the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to get the protection that did not protect the protected in the first place?
What a nice parting gift from the Fuhrer.
The vaccine has been proven to be %100 effective, at improving the profits of big pharma.
I’m vaccinated and think that if you aren’t vaccinated then you certainly should be unless your doctor told you not to.
Even so it is an absolute outrage for the government to get involved in the internal affairs of private schools and businesses when there is no clear and present danger. Is there even any data proving danger to children if the schools don’t have a forced vaccination policy
This will only serve to drive up the price of the fake vaccine cards.
How is this even legal?. He cant even close private schools for a snow day. Only the state DOE or DOH has jurisdiction over private schools.
Bill aguda de blasio was sold to us by aguda board members leon goldenberg and chaskel bennett who also supported UFT candidate steve saperstein over a frum woman
The frum community could only blame themselves they voted for him
בימים ההם בזמן הזה!
Not the first time government has tried to shut down our Mosdos!!
the aguda sold us de blasio, cuomo, murphy and steve saperstein because the Aguda has become the Orthodox part of the Democratic Party establishment they even do rallies with JCRC and AOC with the participation of reform female “rabbis”.
The democrats promised to get rid of covid and that’s impossible, covid is here to stay even if the death rate goes down to zero.
Therefore they’ll keep making mandates even if the vaccination rate is %100 and every 6 months they’ll mandate that you can’t teach, go shopping etc. Unless you get the latest booster shot
I have nothing against the vaccine but I wouldn’t give in to the mandate because once they realize they can force a mandate for this they’ll try to force mandates for other things not necessarily covid related or even medically related at all and that applies to all politicians right left and center פִּתְחוּ לִי פֶּתַח אֶחָד כְּחֻדָּהּ שֶׁל מַחַט, וַאֲנִי פּוֹתֵחַ לָכֶם פְּתָחִים שֶׁיִּהְיוּ עֲגָלוֹת וּקְרוֹנִיּוֹת נִכְנָסוֹת בו applies to people also (especially politicians) not just to God.
I wouldn’t believe anything people claim that yanky kaniev$ky says Sorry typo i meant to write r’ chaim kanievsky. Unless it’s written by him or their’s a letter signed by him or you have a recording of him saying it but I wouldn’t follow him just based on a video of him nodding his head without saying anything while his grandson screams into his ear
If the vaccine protects you then get vaccinated and stop worrying about everyone else and if it doesn’t protect you then never leave your house and buy all your food clothing etc. From online shopping but don’t try forcing it onto others especially if you think it doesn’t help anyways.
We knew this would happen. It isn’t a bombshell. This will cause big issues in our education system
Heshy Tishler bring out the troops. We need to get on 13 Ave and burn the masks and demand no vaccine.
Cuomo put him on a stick and added a string.
We no longer live in medieval times. We know about germ theory and how illness spreads. We know that viruses MUTATE. That why vaccinated folks need boosters, a new flu shot comes out every year and why antibodies from previous Covid sickness WEARS OFF. Stop spreading Qanon garbage disguised as frumkeit emunah. 800,000 have died from Covid. You want more??? Take the vax. Rambam would have approved.
Good I am so happy! Bill de Blasio holds just like Rav Chaim Kanievsky that all teachers and students should be vaccinated.
If you do not take safety measures you may end up killing your students.
If you work around children you need all your vaccinations. Infectious diseases spread like wildfire in schools, just as they do in barracks. It would be nuts to expose yourself to hundreds of students each day without taking precautions.
כל הכבוד and long overdue, and please mandate it:-
1) for every Yeshiva student too
2) for every Shul employee too
3) for every Shul attender too
It’s long overdue to enforce ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם
Good! This will save the lives of Jews!!!
Great news! I can honestly say that this made me happy! Continue with the hishtadlus of saving lives!!! Please don’t back down an inch!
