Kiryas Yoel began in 1974, not in 1979
Their lack of social distancing {& I cannot tell from these pictures if also lack of face mask} is a קיטרג and בזיון to the Memory of the late Rebbe.
Looks like they want to join the local residents based on how close they are.
Is the 41th yartzeit sooner or later than the 41st yartzeit?
It’s spelled yahrzeit, not as in headline and article
Soon we will have to say Tehilim for some of these idiots who have not adhered to social distancing. What a waste of time!
