Arutz Sheva talked to Rabbi Benny Fisher, Founder and Chairman of 'Magen Lacholeh,' an Israeli heath advocacy organization.

Rabbi Fisher said that while "at first haredi rabbinical leaders weren't on the same page with government leaders, since members of the community realized that the way to survive the terrible pandemic was by using social distancing, maintaining personal hygiene, and wearing protective masks, they have started following government instructions on the matter."

Rabbi Fisher also said that the government had failed to communicate with those "advising the rabbis" and that all they had to do was figure out a way to understand the needs of the haredi community.
