As photos and video posted on social media show, the funeral of a New York City rabbi who died after contracting COVID-19 was attended by hundreds of mask-wearing Orthodox Jewish mourners gathered in a few blocks in the Williamsburg section in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
In a series of much-criticized social media posts, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) revealed that he drove over to the event to oversee its dispersal himself and unloaded on the Jewish community, warning that such defiance of social distancing mandates “WILL NOT be tolerated” and that he has ordered police to “summons or even arrest” those who attend such events.
