Coronavirus during high holidays: Budget passed for gear for outdoor services

A budget of NIS12.5 million was approved for local authorities to buy equipment for outdoor high holiday services, Interior Minister MK Ayelet Shaked.

"The goal is to get equipped with whatever is needed to get suited for prayers in open public areas," she wrote. 

MK Nir Orbach praised the move on Twitter, saying that it was important. He added that he requested that a symbolic number of people be allowed inside the synagogues so that they would not stay empty.
