The Hasidic wheeler-dealer Eisenbach made his debut on YouTube last summer, first seen smoking a cigarette and counting a wad of cash as he loaded up a minibus with paid demonstrators. His subsequent antics included offering a client a literal menu of protest options in his smoke-filled office (as his kosher phone chirps a Nazi, Nazi ringtone), and inciting a riot to provide an excuse to scatter garbage on the street because he had previously torched his buildings dumpster. However, theres a good reason you wont find this ginger-bearded resident of Jerusalems ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighborhood involved in the current violent clashes between police and Haredi demonstrators over enforcement of coronavirus lockdown measures

The communities are turning to the courts after exhausting all other means to get government authorities to make adjustments to enable members of our communities to be able to pray in a safe environment, Max Lieberman of the Council of Hasidic Jews of Quebec said in a statement, in order to have their fundamental rights respected. This comes after several incidents on the weekend where police descended on synagogues where over 10 people were in attendance.

Another Orthodox news site took a different approach this week: JDN, an Israeli site, published an article before a large wedding about the secrecy involved in its planning, then replaced the article with another version that said the affair would be small and in keeping with COVID rules
