This is offensive. I’m a reporter and an Orthodox Jew. And I recently wrote a piece about the possible dangers of reopening synagogues. This isn’t anti-religious, it’s reporting in the public interest, including that of the observant public

Critics worry that distancing will be hard to maintain in houses of worship, which were a major vector of virus transmission during the beginning of the pandemic
