A senior government adviser is urging Jerusalem to impose a blanket ban on indoor gatherings of 10 or more people as a means to finally end the rapidly spreading coronavirus pandemic in Israel.
Speaking to The Times of Israel, Prof. Ran Balicer said that the “haggling game” being played by Israeli lawmakers is evaporating public trust in the government’s ability to stop the spread of the disease.
“There’s no way to explain why you’re exempting a ‘Type A’ establishment and not ‘Type B,’” he said. “It has a detrimental effect on the public’s openness to take part in this public effort.”

A message from the Gutman family, whose story has appeared in Jewish news sites over recent months, as mother Ayala fought bravely against cancer:
“Dear Klal Yisroel,
We are writing to you as we mourn the death of our mother, Ayala Gutman A”h.
Our mother was sick with cancer for over 10 years. Throughout it all, her number one priority was to be there for us. Her dream to be healed and cancer free was motivated by her wanting to be able to provide for her family like any other mother does. Unfortunately, just a little over a year ago her cancer spread to her brain. It didn’t take long for the cancer to completely debilitate her.
