15 August 2021 RCV Statement to the Herald Sun

Last night the Rabbinical Council of Victoria (RCV) issued a statement together with the Melbourne Beth Din urging the community “to comply with all government restrictions without exception and to follow the relevant health instructions”.

For the removal of any possible doubt, this includes all illegal gatherings, including for prayer. We implore anybody considering flouting the law to refrain from doing so. We unreservedly condemn such actions, which bring risk and shame to the entire community.
