US Supreme Court: Covid-19 restrictions on houses of worship in New York State

November 25, 2020

“If only 10 people are admitted to eachservice, the great majority of those who wish to attend Masson Sunday or services in a synagogue on Shabbat will bebarred. And while those who are shut out may in some in-stances be able to watch services on television, such remote viewing is not the same as personal attendance. Catholics who watch a Mass at home cannot receive communion, and there are important religious traditions in the Orthodox Jewish faith that require personal attendance”.
