Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox residents of Bnei Brak clashed with police late on Tuesday night after officers forced the closure of a synagogue with dozens of worshipers praying indoors in violation of coronavirus restrictions. The virus has been surging in religious Jewish communities the past few months, so the police have been cracking down on illegal gatherings within the community. Please continue to pray that we will all do our part to keep the virus from spreading. Please also pray that Israel’s infection rate will continue to stay low so as to avoid morbidity and any further shutdown.
