Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told American rabbis on Thursday that synagogues in the US may be able to be open for the Jewish High Holy Days in the fall, but only if certain conditions are met in terms of testing, contact tracing and social distancing.
Speaking during a conference call organized by the Orthodox Union and quoted by Haaretz, Fauci expressed optimism that religious activities could be renewed before the end of the year.
He noted, however, that synagogues would not be able to operate in the same way as prior to the pandemic.
Fauci said that it would be a "good idea" to hold Minyan prayer services once every five days, as opposed to every day, pointing out that he did assume to understand what this would mean “from a spiritual standpoint.”
He also said he expects the virus to still be around in the fall, perhaps as part of a "second wave" of infection. For that reason, there will still need to be restrictions on mass gatherings and people will have to practice social distancing, he added.
The re-opening of synagogues over the next months could be gradual, continued Fauci, who suggested that synagogues in areas that were hit hard by the virus may need to return to operation later than those in other parts of the country.
He added that members of the population who are more vulnerable to the virus, such as elderly people and people with underlying health conditions, could be the last to join services.

GFYS. We don't tell Catholics when to take communion. You don't tell Jews when to attend public prayers in local synagogues.
The virus will still be around, will it. Tell it to GFIS, too.
Your lockdowns are BS. Your models are BS. This whole "crisis" is BS opportunism for leftards. Sweden got by without any of it.
Tell Fredo and his mass murderer idiot governor brother I said hey.
A virus won't just disappear if you hide inside for months. Dr. Fraud is an idiot. Every prediction or statement he has made he changes his mind on a few weeks later. You would think such a "expert" would at least get something right.
The MINI KING has SPOKEN,,...he makes me sick!
Dr. Fraud MUST be EXPOSED!!!
Exactly. I’m a expert on every thing, listen to me and keep your business closed for the next 12-18 months or until I say it is safe, then you can re-open following some TBD new rules you must comply with, how hard can it be?
Dr. Evil should have thrown him to the sharks with the lasers. Mini Me is now on my very last nerve.
A very evil mind at work. A complete fraud.
[Fauci...He’s an expert on everything]
The Democrats at Yahoo worship the ground he walks on. He could tell them to jump off a cliff and they’d do it. Yes, he’s their expert on everything.
But then again, so is the community organizer. And the Mooch.
Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly does “contact tracing” work? Would we be required to turn over our phones to reveal every phone call, text, etc.? The only person with whom I have had direct physical contact in the last several weeks is my wife, but every time I go out to the grocery stores, I am within close proximity to many people. Needless to say; I don’t know any of the other people in the store with me, but would they be considered “people with whom I have come in contact”? How could that be traced? Sounds very Orwellian and ridiculously unnecessary.
Enough of this character, Fauci.
He is way past his use-by-date for me.
“Would we be required to turn over our phones to reveal every phone call, text, etc.?”
I don’t think we’d actually have to physically “turn over” our phones. There are apps by Google and Apple that will provide the data. They say you yourself must download the app(s), but I have a feeling it can be done remotely by someone else.
“Pay attention to me, everyone.. I have ultimate credibility about keeping the country in lockdown for the next year and a half. Ignore the fact I’m an overpaid government employee under no threat of losing my income.”
Sorry, Doc, but it’s no longer up to you. We can underdtsnd the statistics that measure the seriousness of this disease as well as you can, and they show that your lockdowns were a colossal blunder, and that the false attribution and extrapolation from nursing homes created needless hysteria.

He does however, have an agenda.
"We, The People" are nothing more than numbers to Fauci.
Should we have numbers engraved on our arms? Stars on our lapels? Symbols on our homes?
You do NOT quarantine well people!!
Fauci won’t disappear either apparently
Because who cares about rights. This guy makes me ashamed to carry the name ‘Anthony’.
He just issued a statement that shreds the First Amendment to the Constitution, and his "lockdown" model has destroyed the US economy, our social structure, our humanity, and our freedoms.
The Fauci LOCKDOWNS was just ANOTHER COUP ATTEMPT!
