“#NYC synagogue fined $15K for hosting massive wedding<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n That \u201cmazel cough\u201d will cost a lot!<\/p>\n

City Hall will levy a $15,000 fine against the Brooklyn synagogue that broke social<\/a> distancing regulations by hosting thousands at a clandestine wedding for the grandson of a top religious official in the Hasidic community, Mayor Bill de Blasio said late Monday.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner announced the fine and summons the day after The Post exposed how thousands packed into the Yetev Lev temple in South Williamsburg on Nov. 8 \u2014 dancing and singing at the top of their lungs with nary a mask in sight as they celebrate the nuptials of Yoel Teitelbaum, the grandson of Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just not acceptable, I mean, we\u2019ve been through so much,\u201d de Blasio told New York 1\u2019s Errol Louis during his regular Monday app<\/a>earance on \u2018Inside City Hall.\u2019 \u201cThis was amazingly irresponsible, just unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Blasio said that while it remains unclear just how many people packed 7,000-person capacity Satmar schul in South Williamsburg, it was obvious that the social distancing and mask-wearing measures ordered by city and state officials were blatantly broken.<\/p>\n

The Post obtained videos of the crowds and revealed that extensive measures that organizers took to prevent word of the wedding from leaking out to City Hall after officials kiboshed a similar celebration for the grandson of a competing Satmar sect, fearing the mass indoor gathering could fuel a new coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere appeared to be a real effort to conceal it which is absolutely unacceptable,\u201d de Blasio told Louis. \u201cThere will be a summons for $15,000 immediately for that site and there could be additional consequences quite soon as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the COVID-19\u2019s awful toll in ultra-Orthodox communities, officials have struggled to convince residents and local businesses to abide by mask rules and social distancing regulations.<\/p>\n

In turn, several of those neighborhoods were at the center of the city\u2019s first major coronavirus outbreak this fall, leading Gov. Andrew Cuomo to impose \u2018red zone\u2019 shutdown rules over some of the area to try to contain the spread. That triggered raucous protests that turned violent, including attacks on reporters. <\/p>\n

In a horrendous irony, the Yetev Lev\u2019s own president, R\u2019Mayer Zelig Rispler, who openly urged Brooklyn\u2019s Orthodox community to abide by coronavirus safety measures, died of COVID-19 last month at age 70.<\/p>\n
