The routine of the corona shook, among other things, the daily work of God for most of us; Synagogues, classes, vibrant community life and more and more.
The Gemara deals with exceptional leadership in times of danger:
Rabbi Yehuda said: An act in the time of danger (which decreed the observance of the mitzvos), and we would raise a Torah scroll from yard to roof, and from roof to yard, and from yard to hopper to happen in it (transfer from various authorities).
The decree was not to read in the Torah (Yerushalmi Eruvin 5: 1, according to Moshe).
Rabbi Yehuda wanted to prove from here as the method of Rabbi Shimon the Sober (in the Mishnah in Eruvin PT MA) that it is permissible to shake between all these authorities.
The sages said to him: Do not bring proof from here, that there is no hour of danger evidence, and in the hour of danger it was easier to shake even in the forbidden place the words of the sages.
It is important to sharpen within us all the time that the corona is a time of danger.
Therefore, various regulations adapted to this period do not necessarily indicate sweeping permits and changes in customs. Do not learn about the rule from the exception.
