Meanwhile, the Ministry published its guidelines for the upcoming holiday season. The guidelines limit holiday meals to 50 people in enclosed areas and 100 in the open air.
Synagogues in which there are over 50 people in attendance must follow the Green Pass guidelines and check each person's pass upon entry, even if the prayers are held outdoors.
The Green Pass requires that individuals over age three entering certain public venues prove that they are vaccinated against coronavirus, recovered from it, or present a recent negative coronavirus test.
