As corona cuts off borders, Oslo baby’s delayed circumcision is tip of iceberg – Small Jewish communities are left bereft of rabbis, cantors, and ritual circumcisers as countries attempt to stem spread of COVID-19 | Timesofisrael
For the first time in 75 years, the Oslo Jewish community isn’t meeting for communal worship. Likewise, lifecycle events, such as ritual circumcisions and weddings are now on hold.
“This is the first time since the return of Jewish life to Oslo post-World War II that we have not met in person in the synagogue for a minyan,” said Joav Melchior, rabbi of the Oslo Jewish community, referring to a prayer quorum of 10 Jewish men.
