The chairperson of an ultra-Orthodox emergency response organization, ZAKA, has directed scathing criticism at his sector and its leaders after losing his mother to COVID-19 on Tuesday, calling those who try to play down the pandemic, „worse than Holocaust deniers.“
Yehuda Meshi Zahav, chairman and one of the founders of the voluntary community emergency response organization, sought to warn the ultra-Orthodox public of the dangers of the disease after his mother, 80-year-old Sara Zeisel, succumbed to the illness after a month-long battle.
