The Jewish Community Council of Montreal, the Jewish Hasidic Council of Quebec and several other ultra-Orthodox Jewish congregations have sent a lawyer’s letter to the Legault government urging it to reconsider its ban on gatherings in synagogues and other places of worship during the latest pandemic lockdown.
The letter, prepared by the law firm of Dunton Rainville and delivered to the provincial government last Friday, warns that failure to rescind the ban will see their clients “regretfully” seek redress before the courts.
