All Leisure Closed in Israel; Gatherings Limited to Just 10 People

During the week of March 10, 2020, the government issued the quarantine regulation as well as a ruling that no gatherings of over 100 people are allowed.

The new maximum number of people in gatherings is just 10.

All Travelers to Israel Are Now Quarantined 2 Weeks

It is now just after Shabbat here in Samaria, and the Israeli government just announced that all cafes, restaurants, gyms, theaters, gatherings of more than 10 people, (weddings too), the entire leisure industry will be closed in the morning March 15, 2020.

Workplaces and homes – people must maintain 6 1/2 feet distance (2 meters), while assuring everyone that there is no reason to rush and clear out the supermarkets, pharmacies, or banks – all the supply chains are maintained by sea and air. Not much was said about buses and public transportation, or schools.

We must keep faith up, and pray for healing miracles.

How can we make sense of Israel’s election results? Can the Bible help us understand how to cope? The third election in 11 months, the March 2, 2020 results are in, again, with uncertainty. Will the parliament Knesset form a coalition, or will Israeli Jews and Arabs, and Druze voters go to the polls for the fourth time?
