WORLD RENOWNED RABBI ON COVID-19: DON’T WORSHIP THE CORONA MASK
RABBI CHAIM RICHMAN: “The verse we read last week in Parashat Ki Tisa (Exodus 34:17) “You shall not make molten gods for yourself’ can also be read in Hebrew as ‘do not make a mask into a god”, or in other words don’t worship the corona.”

The ten-minute class has already been viewed by thousands of people worldwide giving comfort and perspective on this unprecedented new reality. Arguably his most striking statement comes from the Torah portion of last week (Exodus. 34:17) in which G-d warns the people of Israel: “You shall not make molten gods for yourself’ can also be read in Hebrew as ‘do not make a mask into a god”, or in other words don’t worship the corona.
