NYC to levy 15K fine against Brooklyn synagogue that held illegal wedding

City Hall will levy a $15,000 fine against the Brooklyn synagogue that broke social distancing regulations by hosting thousands at a clandestine wedding for the grandson of a top religious official in the Hasidic community, Mayor Bill de Blasio said late Monday.

Hizzoner announced the fine and summons the day after The Post exposed how thousands packed into the Yetev Lev temple in South Williamsburg on Nov. 8 — dancing and singing at the top of their lungs with nary a mask in sight as they celebrate the nuptials of Yoel Teitelbaum, the grandson of Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum.

“That’s just not acceptable, I mean, we’ve been through so much,” de Blasio told New York 1’s Errol Louis during his regular Monday appearance on ‘Inside City Hall.’ “This was amazingly irresponsible, just unacceptable.”

De Blasio said that while it remains unclear just how many people packed 7,000-person capacity Satmar schul in South Williamsburg, it was obvious that the social distancing and mask-wearing measures ordered by city and state officials were blatantly broken.

Blatantly broken like when Hizzoner spoke at a BLM rally?  Or like when Governor Cuomo went maskless in public multiple times, or when thousands of people marched in protest without masks but were not fine, or when Senator Schumer traveled to New York to attend a rally and took off his mask and didn’t quarantine when he returned?

Only the Jews have to follow the rules.  Democrat politicians don’t.

My hope is that this Synagogue will get this money back in damages when they win their Supreme Court case against the governor and state for violating their First Amendment rights.
