Text of excerpt, if available

he coronavirus crisis has thrust the Jewish people into an unprecedented situation. Unable to meet up face to face, people have been looking urgently for ways to let Jewish practice continue on more than a private, individual basis. One solution has been the livestreaming of online services. The UK Masorti rabbis were asked if streaming Shabbat services could be allowed on an exceptional basis and as a temporary response to the crisis. Their response was that streaming on Shabbat is not permitted, but that other solutions are encouraged
