Attorney Moshe Morgenstern who holds the health portfolio on the Bnei Brak municipality told Galei Tzahal this morning that Bnei Brak residents are angry and frustrated at the way in which they are being treated by the government.
"There's a lot of confusion, anger, and criticism of the Health Ministry," he said. "At the municipality there's a feeling that residents are not going to be able to tolerate the lockdown and all the economic consequences it will have."
Addressing recent controversy over a misinterpretation of what a leading haredi rabbi in Bnei Brak said, Morgenstern clarified that, "The ruling issued by Rabbi Kanievsky doesn't affect most of us. It refers solely to yeshiva students who have already been tested, and have been learning in 'capsules' for around 40 days already, and haven't left the capsules since."
