As Israelis prepare to celebrate the holiest days of the Jewish calendar under a new blockade, the organization of prayer turns out to be more of a mathematical puzzle than a non-secular exercise.
Rabbis will have to organize the faithful into teams of 20 to 50, separated through dividers, calculating the length of teams based on complex calculations involving local infection rates and the number of inputs and square feet of their synagogues.
