Israel’s Health Minister, Yuli Edelstein, is pushing for a full lockdown across the country during the upcoming High Holy Days. They begin Friday, September 18th and end October 9th. The lockdown would include shutting all academic institutions, work places and gatherings, and putting the entire public sector on an emergency mode. There have been over 4,000 new cases of Coronavirus infections in the past 24 hours. This is the highest daily infection rate since the virus entered Israel earlier this year. Please continue to pray for Israelis who are sick, for full recovery. Please also pray for protection from infection for those who have not been infected. Lastly, please continue to pray for wisdom for Israel’s leadership as they navigate this difficult situation.
