The chairman of Kfar Chabad, Rabbi Shimon Rabinowitz, claims that the manner in which the coronavirus’s morbidity data has been presented by the Ministry of Health produces a harmful false image.

In a letter sent to the Director General of the Ministry of Health, Rabinowitz writes that

“Kfar Chabad, known in Israel as a community that distributes light, joy and Judaism to all over the country appears in media headlines that portray it as a community at the top of the morbidity rate in Israel, while it [happens to be] at the top of the recovery and residents in the village are strictly abiding by Ministry of Health instructions and rabbinic guidelines.”
