Baltimore Rabbis Call Community to Vaccinate Against Covid
"Hashem gave us a gift - the Covid-19 vaccines": Shluchim Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan and Rabbi Elchonon Lisbon and the rabbonim of Baltimore recorded a video calling on the Jewish community to get vaccinated. Video

The vaccine is experimental. It use was authorized for emergency only.
Are you a Dr?
Nearly all doctors (besides a few on the fringes) strongly support taking the vaccine. The Rabbonim are following the Rebbes instructions to follow the advice of doctors.
Not all dr said should take it – especially if one already had COVID
There is absolutely no evidence that previous infection protects you AT ALL from the delta variant. There is no risk whatsoever in the vaccine. Only in the US and Israel – the two countries with the worst pandemic record does anyone say previous infection protects you. This is absolutely not true.
the vaccine was never tested n humans its very risky and proven to be very dangerous
its not always so black and white to follow halacha
Of course the vaccine was tested on humans! I know someone who was part of one of the trials.
Not falling down dead the next day is not a ‘test’ Typically any mRNA in drug discovery requires a murine model test of n>100 over no shorter than 12 months In addition there are no bioaccumulation studies in humans prior to injecting this gene- therapy into those of child-bearing age Everyone who has had the mRNA injections is now a GMO – genetically modified organism – with spike protein inserted and active in the cell membranes of their cells. There’s no data from humans about persistence of the genetically engineered spike protein mRNA, nor data on the persistence of the… Read more »
I have asked at my pediatrician they didn’t recommend especially since the adults already had covid
Thank you to these rabbis for coming forward and encouraging something so important!!!
Have any of these Rabbis done any independent research or are they just following the media’s naarative?
it was government funded, it was scripted (they have no clue what they are saying)
how i can tell… just notice the person in the bottom corner making all the hand motions are no frum videos I’ve ever seen in my life with that person in the bottom corner, that is a big clue
Just because Orthodox Jews have finally started to be inclusive of the special needs community doesn’t mean the video is a fake. Are you okay?
It boggles my mind how Rabbanim can pasken and tell people to take the vaccine 💉 when it’s so experimental.
As frum yidden we look to Rabbanim for guidance but honestly, the more I see Rabbanim pushing for this experimental vaccine with lots of dangerous side effects, the more I am losing trust in Rabbanim.
How can you advise people to take a new invention without fully looking into it??!!
Just because the Dr’s say????
Just because the government says????
It boggles the mind that people have forgotten all the great people in our community who we lost because of Covid, and how now that we have the opportunity to prevent such a Machla, ignorant and dangerous people are trying to stop the community from immunizing against it.
Tens of thousands (if not 100’s of thousands) have been treated quickly, successfully, and inexpensively with Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin (and even other protocols as well). Of course no one wished one more death from Covid. The tens of thousands of DEATHLY OUCOMES and serious irreversible injuries from this experimental “vaccination” however are censored, blamed on ‘pre-existing conditions’ that did NOT exist, and more. The narrative the ‘vaccines’ are “safe” are from entirely corrupt, money hungry big pharma and a government that cannot produce the truth about anything. Pfizer profited many millions this very quarter. It is inexplicable to me how… Read more »
Hcq and ivermectin are experimental, not fda approved and we have no idea about their long term side effects. So why do you promote them instead of the vaccines?
“Hcq and ivermectin are experimental, not fda approved” Really? Do you really believe this? Let me tell you a story. Early on in the pandemic some doctors, doctors who actually dealt with patients and didn’t want them to maybe die from covid began using available and well understood medicines to treat the very obvious symptoms. To treat the viral aspect and the inflammation. They saw success. This notion that a doctor’s experiential knowledge is worthless with a formal published, authority approved, ‘peer reviewed’ study is brand new and false and dangerous. They saw results and compared notes with hundreds of… Read more »
This are FDA approved medication, already for decades more than 50 and 60 years !!!!
Well they ain’t experimental!!! Hcq been around for over 60 years and ivermectin is old as well. Both have hundreds of study’s showing efficacy. Ivermectin is even better then hcq Bec it can be used later on. These are proven safe drugs. There were a few studies done on hcq that were dangerous and straight up fraud.
Ivermectin discovered in 1975, in medical use since 1981.
Internationally approved for as an early anti-viral replication treatment, including by FDA
for ‘some reason’ not approved by FDA to treat a viral infection called COVID-19
It’s not surprising that people who lack the ability to get to the details can be so easily brain washed
It’s an experimental gene- therapy injection. When I use mRNA and microRNA to change the physiology of human cells and mice it’s not a ‘vaccination’ it is genetic- engineering Nowhere in the scientific record would it be called a vaccination When you engineer humans to carry viral protein, active platelet recruiting viral proteins which stimulate cytokine cascades, then you’ve made those humans into GMOs, genetically modified organisms, and the small mouse study that was done shows that 12% of the lipofection agent is recruited to the ovaries. The oocytes are held in a situation of stasis until maturation so it… Read more »
It boggles the mind how many of those could’ve been saved by hcq etc but the government and media politicized it and DRs blindly follow a clearly politicized FDA/CDC and Rabbonim blindly follow clueless DRs.
I was involved in the trials of HCQ and Ivermectin and Colchicine. They were absolutely ineffective. We tested it over and over – no impact on saving lives or illness. How many times can you prove the treatments before frum Jews stop believe in this absolute sheker. Do you realize no one else in the world still beehives this?
There are other studies and more importantly other doctors. Do what you will advise how you will, though I am at this point terrified by ‘Public Health Physician’ cause there is not such thing really and the use of the title in public itself generates suspicion.
Public health people do not care about YOU as such. That’s the point.
Every non PUBLIC health doctor I’ve spoken to tells me to stand pat with my natural immunity.
When the person is already seriously ill and hospitalized was when your study administered the drugs. That is too late!
See the peer-reviewed studies that show how truly well these drugs work when used very early on in the person’s symptoms.
I think that the American Journal of Medicine disagrees with you. So does a ton of anecdotal evidence.
That’s besides that fact the CH community is pretty much at herd immunity at this point and natural immunity is way better and stronger than experimental vaccine induced immunity. as we see clearly these days.
How does this ” vaccine” prove we won’t C”V suffer more as a result of it?
Because the vaccine has worked every in the world! Unvaccinated healthy people are dying…vaccinated people are not dying. It’s not complicated.
Yes it is very complicated and shame on you for dressing your sound bites in titular authority with all the trustworthiness of rando internet bluff.
That’s absolutely not thru,Today ,its the vaccinated people who are in hospitals from covid !!! the shot doesn’t protect from the delta varient , and the shot doesn’t protect not from getting and not from transmitting get your records updated!!!
Dying OF covid, dying WITH covid
We all know by now how the CDC massaged their numbers to create national paranoia – so corrupt
Go to the CDC webpage and calculate death rate for those who are healthy and under 35
For them COVID-19 is less lethal than the flu
Last week in America – a population of 333,000,000 people 600 died of COVID-19
About the same number died of pneumonia – where’s the pneumonia lock down and mass genetic engineering experiment?
Can Americans do math???
valid facts… and therefore?
The deaths of all of these people were preventable. All the people who died in early to mid 2020, were denied proper medical treatment and died from malpractice. There are cheap and easy treatments available including ivermectin, HCQ, Zinc, vitamin D and C but all of these was suppressed by the establishment. Gov Cuomo even deliberately stacked nursing homes with sick covid patients and that caused 1000s upon 1000s of additional deaths in NY further adding to the death toll. This was a deliberate criminal act. And now you are going to trust the same establishment with this experimental MRNA… Read more »
Every death is a tragedy no doubt ! But we had great effective drugs over a year ago to treat this virus. We just need to use them. The vaccine is at best questionable! At worst a massive dangerous drug that has irreversible implications!!! Take it , don’t take but no one should be forced to take or Coerced!
your comment is a contradiction. You say we look to rabbonim for guidance. They just gave it to you! but you don’t agree so you discredit it.
Did you do your research to know that they didn’t
also maybe they have a rofe yedid as the Rebbe would encourage us to have in making medical decisions.
If you don’t want to get a vaccine fine, but don’t discredit rabbonim along the way
I questioned two Chabad Rabbis of two Chabad Seminaries here in Eretz Yisroel. One dismissed me saying ‘I rely and pay a doctor to decide for me’. The other served me with personal abuse me having dared to even question him. Both are telling our talmidos that they will only be accepted if they take the experimental jab Yes, big money talks. Parents, for Hashem’s sake look after your daughters and keep them in Crown Heights!! Last time Collive denied publication of this. Can we please have some Emes in our circles?
Better yet, as group tell them you’ll all pull out if they demand vaccination. A modern orthodox school reversed their decision within a day because of massive backlash from the parent body. There’s strength in numbers
Wrong. I wrote into the Igros Kodesh. The reply from the Rebbe was to ask a doctor who is a specialist in the area, no reference to a yedid. Dr. Zilenko and the Frontline doctors are the specialists. A family doctor is not a specialist even if he is your yedid.
As far as I know when it came to vaccinations the Rebbe said to go by what has been tried and tested. If you can show us were the Rebbe said to ask a rofe yedid about vaccines per se, it might carry more weight.
It boggles my mind how people have lost faith in Rabbonim. If we believe that Halacha was given to Moshe at Har Sinai with the rest of the Torah, then we follow the guidance of our own Rabbonim no matter if we understand or if we are completely confused. If we don’t believe in a Halachik authority as part of Hashem’s Torah, then I guess it won’t boggle your mind for much longer; just do your own thing and don’t worry about what they say.
We learn in this week’s parsha
לא תסור מדבריהם ימין ושמאל
Rashi explains that this means even if they tell you right is left and left is right you should still listen
Over 4.5 billion doses of vaccine have been administered globally. Re:Pfizer – There have been no deaths, and fewer hospitalizations actually linked to vaccination that you can count on one hand. There has never been a less experimental and more studied vaccine in the history of humanity. To suggest otherwise is profoundly Ignorant.
You are dancing around a flaming strawman. The vaccines are relatively safe at least in the short term, with their long term affects unstudied. It is indeed experimentally authorized and you know that. The efficacy of the vaccines is being challenged daily by the variants. Israel is far less cavalier about the claim than you are, deal ‘Public Health Physician” and now they are talking about boosters and boosters after that. Boosters as far as the eye can see and forever. All while we are increasingly convinced that natural immunity is strong and durable and that there are in fact… Read more »
Wrong wrong wrong
During the clinical trial in Germany 10,000 injected, 200 hospitalized – none of their symptoms made it into the CDCs VAERS form…. because
‘This vaccine is safe and effective’
Repeat 666 times until you’re brainwashed
A thorough, honest and well balanced public service announcement requires empirical data with detailed sources of the safety, efficacy, legal, medical and ethical standards before taking responsibility for long-term health related matters. It is presumptuous and irresponsible to act otherwise. Not one Rabbi quoted any reliable source.
So you don’t want to listen to doctors. You don’t want to listen to rabbis. Face it, you want to do anything you want without any kabbolos ol or regard for vulnerable people because of your narcissism
Why are you so thick.
There are doctors screaming into the hills about the mass medical malpractice going on now some of which so teeth shatteringly credentialed and respected that they mange to remain on YOUTUBE.
Do yourself a favor: https://rumble.com/vkgieh-peter-mccullough-md-testifies-to-texas-senate-hhs-committee-2661.html
watch this and note well the credentials of the man who is giving testimony and write his words off at your peril.
There are plenty of well regarded doctors who say don’t take or have reservations about it. Including the doctor who made the technology that’s in the vaccine dr Robert Malone
Over one hundred leading rabbis worldwide are opposed to the C0\/lD \/accine. The following rabbis issued public statements prohibiting Jews from taking the injection: Rabbi Aharon Reisner, Bnei Brak Rabbi Avraham Pinchas Koritz, Bnei Brak Rabbi Shimon Nebenzhal, Bnei Brak Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchok Stern, Bnei Brak Rabbi Shmuel Eliezer Stern, Bnei Brak Rabbi Yechiel Michel Friedman, Bnei Brak Rabbi Yosef Mordechai Salamon, Bnei Brak Rabbi Moshe Zev Zorger, Posek, Dayan, Jerusalem Rabbi Avrohom Simcha Chanun, Rebbe, Khal Chaseidei, Jerusalem Rabbi Tzvi Friedman, Av Beis Din, Masores, Bnei Brak Rabbi Chaim Rabinowitz, Rebbe of Mishkanos Haroyim, Jerusalem Rabbi Shimon Shapiro, elder… Read more »
Never heard of any one of those Rabbis you just quoted until now.
The video is from Community Rabbonim who are known in their Community. I would follow their advice any day over virtually unknown anonymous Rabbis you quoted.
Rabbi Elya Ber Wachtfogel, South Fallsburg, NY
Was on the cover of AMI magazine a year ago regarding covid
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Chazon Yaakov, Jerusalem
Think rav Ovadya Yosef grandson I believe
The claims about r moshe shternbuch, and r shmuel kamenetzky being against the vaccine are just not true, I think that this demonstrates the reliability of the other rabbanim on that list- at least the important ones
Everyone commenting about reliable sources seem to also believe that their googling skills are giving the great resources. Facebook and whatsapp scare posts are not reliable.
As well, do actual research and you will see that the vaccine is safe.
– reliability of the qoutes in the rabbanims names- that is
with covid+ he is a Dr YEDID! Cares about the individual. Not after the MONEY!
Antivaxxers with no medical or halachic background think they’re smarter than all the doctors and rabbonim.
Have just a tiny bit of humility and recognize that the experts know much more than you.
Those “experts” haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory the past year and a half. Being on every possible side of every issue, publicly appearing at events in violation of their own guidelines, refusing to answer simple direct questions, etc.
Experts are human and imperfect but that doesn’t change the fact that they are infinitely more knowledgeable than you and I on medical issues. And the medical consensus among all experts, including the honest and ones is that vaccines are safe and effective.
Same with Rabonim, would you stop listening to all Rabonim because they’re human, or you know one or two who are hypocrites? I hope not.
Listen to a Doctor who tells you how it is! https://rumble.com/vkrdx6-dr.-zelenko-speaks-to-a-rabbinical-court-in-jerusalem.html
“Hashem gave us a gift – the COVID vaccine” Huh? If it was from hashem he gives refuah kodem l’makek, not after. Did Hashem give you COVID also? According to every medical professional, including those on both sides of the extremes, the vaccines aren’t a cure and it’s unknown if more and different vaccines will be necessary, and the virus is constantly mutating, ETC. so something weak would probably not be Hashem’s antidote. Let’s accept that we can’t understand Hashem’s ways and not cherry pick and use Hashem’s name to support what we decide is support-worthy. I’m sure the Rabbi’s… Read more »
A few years back one was able to search on Google and find the “other side of every story” now Google/Bing/Facebook has truly censored all this and only show you what “they want to feed your brain”…don’t believe me…..try searching for “why one shouldn’t take the vaccine’s or how many influenza deaths occurred since Covid or how many deaths from diabetes etc
Israel has a population of 9 million and 80% of the population is double vaccinated. They are also experiencing a massive delta outbreak where around 80% of the cases are made up of the double vaccinated. On August 3rd, israel had close to 4 000 cases in one day. Contrast this to Egypt with a population of 100 million with only 1.5% vaccinated. They had 53 cases on August 3. Dr Robert Malone invented the MRNA platfrm that both pfizer and moderna use. Dr Michael Yeadon was the Vice President of Pfizer for 12 years. Dr Peter McCullough is an… Read more »
The amount of people with covid currently is currently the same amount of the amount of people that have covid before the vaccine came out.
The cases are much higher and much worse in the unvaccinated, chuchem.
What a disgrace! Traitors to the Jewish people, pushing this toxic, experimental, fast-tracked gene therapy masquerading as a medicine on people. Will they also take responsibility for all the deaths and injuries caused by the shot? They make Joseph Mengele proud but disgrace the Jewish religion, sending Jews like sheep to the slaughter, because they clearly never did their own independent research, but just follow the government like mindless robots.
I’m absolutely shocked that you can compare anything to Mengela Ymch”Sh. Your comment here, and your prolific posts on Facebook tells me you’ve gone off the deep-end.
Well done! Every community needs to do this!
The type of leaders that are more frum then they are extreme right. Real inspiration!
How much are they paying them to do this advertisement
Rabbi’s should be talking to the most qualified and experienced Doctors in the world sadly they dont they think the local Dr’s are good enough or worse they may be complicit in taking bribes or simply being blackmailed with Tens of BIllions of dollars being made by the companies marketing and pushing these toxic vaccines people need to realised its all about the money and de-population of the planet. Litsten to a Doctor who knows and speaks to other Doctors expercieced and trained in Virology and vaccine research. https://rumble.com/vkrdx6-dr.-zelenko-speaks-to-a-rabbinical-court-in-jerusalem.html
None of these rabbis had a choice to take part in this video
they are reading a script being forced by the big bucks they receive from the foundation to be in the video.
let’s see a statement from Hatzalah
Do any of these Rabbis accept responsibility if something goes wrong after vaccination?
שב ואל תעשה
It’s nice to see a good amount of comments on COL encouraging the vaccine. There are some ignorant individuals in this community refusing the vaccine, thereby putting themselves and countless others at risk. I couldn’t think of anything more opposed to Torah than not getting vaccinated. It’s the most hypocritical, selfish type of behavior. If you’re getting vaccinated, publicize it. Tell your friends and family to do the same. Make it a campaign around Crown Heights. The rebbe would have wanted us to look out for each other. These anti vaxers need help, so let’s guide them towards a Torah… Read more »
I am not arguing for or against. But for heavens sake listen to your Rav! Listen to a Rofeh Yedid! This is clearly new territory. But we have precedent on what to do when we just don’t know. Do you believe in the Torah, or just say you do? My neighbor is the head of pediatrics at the University of Maryland. He told me 1. The hospital is full to capacity. The # with the delta variant is way up. 2. Children are very susceptible to it ( unlike the original strain). 3. The people dying from the variant are… Read more »
I don’t buy it ..and if true ask him what are they treating them with ? I’m taking early treatment? Not when they’re In hospital 6 days later with oxygen below 92
Anyone frum jew who is still not getting vaccinated is not following halacha, there’s no way around it anymore.
If you’re fine not following halacha and potentially killing other people, then by all means continue your selfish and ignorant behavior, but you’re not a frum Jew.
If vax is safe and effective then you take it and your safe and move on with life and not worry about the unvaccinated Bec they are no harm to you and they no the risks of not taking it ..and I don’t want to hear about heard immunity…the cdc changed the meaning in the winter
Love seeing rabbis come forward in support of science and humanity and halacha. This is what leadership looks like.
Were the rebbe alive, I’m sure he would have encouraged the vaccine as well. Anyone who follows Torah values does.
Gd willing these rabbis stepping forward will encourage more members of this community to get vaccinated.
I can’t imagine how nervous so many parents must be sending their kids to school when the teachers might be unvaccinated. Kids are dying at the highest rates today, and teachers should be required to be vaccinated in all Jewish schools.
Excuse ? Kids are dying at the highest rates today ??? Of covid???? 0 deaths of healthy kids during this pandemic in USA according to John Hopkins feel free to fact check me
But please not Fox, they lie.
Pro vaccine, pro Torah, pro halacha, pro humanity, pro loving your neighbor.
Do the right thing. Get vaccinated.
These are the gedolim of this generation, they should receive brachos and great zechus for leading the Jewish people on the path of righteousness.
Hashem should bless these rabbis with great and numerous brachos, true gedolei hador.
We should all get vaccinated, show our love for humankind, and this will Gd willing bring moshiach.
These Rabbis speak the truth and true Gd fearing Jews listen.
is in the torah.
people to the far extreme on both sides are forgetting this and have no respect for others.
social media groups have become very unhealthy and people on the extreme ends are using them out in very bad ways.
