Common Sense Should Prevail

I cannot be accused of being Anti-Semitic because I am a member of the tribe. I do, therefore, advocate more Police action when opportunities arise to do so. I have editorialized in the past regarding young people who congregate in parks and in front of ice cream and frozen yogurt stores ignoring social distancing and not wearing masks. It is due to them that Quebec as a whole and mainly Cote St-Luc and Hampstead have the highest rates of infection. I believe strongly that a person has the right to follow his religion and to practice it, however, I feel inviting people to your home does not make it a synagogue and if I can’t have my own family visit my home during these exceptional times, why should the Rabbi. I have separate thoughts regarding the person who sold him the home knowing his intentions. Coincidently, I drove past the house on my way west on Fleet Road one night last week and could see the crowd inside the home through the spacious windows. Did they think they were above the law? It is no wonder that their children have the same disregard for the law and the virus continues to flourish. Hats off to the SPVM. Keep up the vigilance and keep us safe.
