“#NYC banquet halls hosting large weddings despite COVID-19 ban<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n You may now infect the bride, the groom and all the guests!<\/p>\n

Three banquet halls in Brooklyn\u2019s Borough Park neighborhood app<\/a>eared to be hosting Hasidic Jewish wedding parties less than a week after Mayor Bill de Blasio warned that a similar gathering there led to an \u201cuptick\u201d in coronavirus cases.<\/p>\n

The Post saw celebrations involving as many as around 200 people each underway Monday night at the Torah Vyirah Hall, the Ateres Chaya Hall and the Ohr Hachaim Viznitz Hall, all of which are located along a 10-block stretch of 53rd and 54th streets.<\/p>\n

At Torah Vyriah, the windows were covered with paper to prevent anyone from looking in, but people in formal attire were getting out of cars that pulled up near a side door on 54th Street through which they entered.<\/p>\n

A waiter who was working the event said there were probably about 200 people inside.<\/p>\n

At Ateres Chaya, the windows were also blacked out and celebrants were entering through a door in the rear, next to a garage.<\/p>\n

Video shot inside, and reviewed by The Post, showed about 100 people seated in rows and separated by gender for the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Outside Ohr Hachaim Viznitz, people were seen unloading gifts and music could be heard coming from inside, where The Post saw about 20 men and boys dancing in a room as workers appeared to be cleaning up the party.<\/p>\n

Last week, de Blasio announced an \u201cuptick\u201d in which 16 people in Borough Park had tested positive for the coronavirus, with some \u201clinked to a recent wedding \u2014 a large wedding, in fact \u2014 in the community\u201d that he didn\u2019t identify.<\/p>\n

Social<\/a> gatherings of more than 50 people are banned under pandemic-related rules, and de Blasio vowed a Health Department crackdown on catering halls \u201cto let them know those standards must be kept.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post also obtained photos of an Aug. 6 wedding party at the Eminence Hall in Borough Park, where celebrants were clustered around tables and not wearing masks.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s ban on gatherings of more than 50 people was challenged last month by two couples who claimed it violated their constitutional rights \u201cto preside or participate in religious weddings according to the dictates of their conscious and religious beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n

An upstate federal judge ruled in their favor just minutes before Jenna DiMartile and Justin Crawford were wed at the Arrowhead Golf Club in Akron on Aug. 7.<\/p>\n

But plans by Pamella Giglia and Joe Durolek to be married there on Saturday were stymied when a federal appeals judge on Friday granted a state request to stay the ruling pending review by a three-judge appeals panel in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Torah Vyirah manager Yoeli Landau acknowledged Monday night\u2019s wedding but claimed that no rules were violated because a divider separated two groups of 50 each by gender and security workers enforced social distancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re keeping strong the guidelines. It\u2019s very hard for us, but that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are paying especially for security at the door \u2026 We\u2019re washing and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

But workers at Ateres Chaya and Ohr Hachaim Viznitz denied having hosted weddings, even though tables inside the former were being set with plates and utensils Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease leave the premises. Please leave the premises,\u201d a man who gave his name as Joe told The Post.<\/p>\n

A man at Ohr Hachaim Viznitz, who gave his name as Aaron, said, \u201cThere\u2019s no weddings here. This is a school building. We have occasionally fundraising, dinner parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

When told The Post had seen the party there Monday night, he sarcastically said, \u201cYou work for de Blasio?\u201d before adding, \u201cI don\u2019t have to give you any info.\u201d<\/p>\n

City Hall said officials planned Wednesday to issue two violations, with a total $2,000 in fines, against an unspecified catering hall in Borough Park for serving food without a permit and failing to comply with state gathering limits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe desperately want to avoid a larger outbreak in the five boroughs. That\u2019ll take all of us working together to stay safe, across every neighborhood,\u201d mayoral spokesman Mitch Schwartz said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state-mandated gathering limits are clear. If some businesses have the wrong idea, we\u2019ll take action: first by educating and urging compliance, and then by issuing summonses if necessary. We\u2019re not going to let COVID-19 surge again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eminence Hall didn\u2019t return a message seeking comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
