A few weeks ago, David Arias, the rabbi of our synagogue, talked about how praise from an opponent had more power than the same from a friend. With that in mind, I want to say that Im grateful to the Haredim (ultra-Orthodox) and happy they have political clout here in Israel, because it is they who forced our government to take prayer seriously and to allow people to congregate in their synagogues. If it werent for the zeal and the power of the Haredim, rest assured that communal prayer in these times of the coronavirus would be banned
