I love going to synagogue. I go regularly. Don& #39;t go to synagogue right now. Don& #39;t go to church. The restrictions are temporary. And it is not a violation of law or morality to stop all gatherings above a certain size, including religious gatherings.

And by the way, if you& #39;re a religious person of any stripe -- Jew, Christian, Muslim, anyone -- and you are insisting on communal events in a time when those events are a serious danger to human life, you are involved in what Jews call hillul Hashem, or desecration of God& #39;s name.

This is not just my opinion. It is the opinion of virtually every major rabbi, pastor, priest and imam of whom I am aware.
