VIDEO: ‘Learn from the Virus,’ Beijing Chief Rabbi Says, Thanks Health Care Workers Worldwide

Rabbi Shimon Freundlich

Beijing Chief Rabbi recognizes medical staff in Israel and the world over, Jews and non-Jews, for putting their lives on the line to save others, and gives important safety tips.

In a pre-Shabbat video on Friday, Rabbi Shimon Freundlich, Chief Rabbi of Beijing, adamantly warns religious Jews against participating in minyanim – prayer quorums – during the COVID-19 pandemic, among other important advice to help people stay safe and healthy.

The virus doesn’t differentiate between religious and non-religious, Jew and non-Jew, he says, urging viewers to “learn from the virus” and show courtesy to others and special appreciation to health care workers around the world.
