Shas leader Deri calls for outdoor prayer groups to be allowed
Shas leader Aryeh Deri is urging the government to permit prayer gatherings of 10-15 people, provided the services are held outdoors and the worshipers stand apart in accordance with social distancing rules.
He makes the plea as ministers debate plans to gradually scale back restrictions on movement imposed due to the pandemic, which includes a ban on group prayer.
