As Passover, Easter and Ramadan services are cancelled amid COVID-19, preachers wonder: Where is God in all this?

Dan Moskovitz, senior rabbi of Temple Sholom, who is self-isolating at home as a precaution due to a family member with mild COVID-19 symptoms, in Vancouver, on March 27, 2020.The spreading novel coronavirus has forced us to dispatch with one ritual after another: school, the National Hockey League season, changing from our sweatpants.Next month, three of the world’s biggest religions will cancel services celebrating Passover, Easter and Ramadan, all of it unprecedented in modern times.

The day the pandemic forced the closing of his synagogue, he broke down in his car and wept. Like so many of us, the Vancouver rabbi wakes to “thoughts only of exponential numbers, of my family sleeping peacefully, an unseen threat looming like the angel of death on surfaces. Did I touch my eyes, my nose, my mouth, did I wash my hands enough? Did they?”

The experience hasn’t been all bad, the warm, funny San Francisco native adds. He thinks that more Jews observed shabbat last Friday than in any other time in modern history. “It was like the Messiah did come,” he says with a laugh.For Catholics and Anglicans, the most central part of mass, the communion, when congregants take the altar bread, is clearly verboten. “Our sacrament is now in the eucharistic fast rather than the eucharistic feast,” Ms. Greenwood-Lee says.

Crises also present opportunities, says Mr. Morris – to reconsider who we are, to become more self-aware, to be more loving, more compassionate. To him, the meaning of all this is that we must learn to pull together.

GlobeBC If preachers have to ask this question they are in the wrong profession!

GlobeBC If a preacher says, where is god in all this? He’s not a preacher. He’s a hypocrite 😳. You don’t need a collection plate to talk to god. You believe he will listen❤️❤️

GlobeBC Social distancing! And, that's an UnFollow. There are far more important issues on both a global & local level to write about.

GlobeBC Now we really know whose behind this pandemic...

GlobeBC At the cottage

GlobeBC Proof that a god does not exist.

GlobeBC Same place he was before Covid. Figure it out.

GlobeBC He is at home with his family

GlobeBC God is in the nurses and doctors caring for people in ICU.

GlobeBC He's in people's mind and imagination and in some books written a long time ago based on stories that were circulating in the middle East at that time. As far as anything being done by this almighty man from space there hasn't been anything.....ever.

GlobeBC No where, your Gods don’t exist and it’s time to grow up and realize that.

GlobeBC If there are preachers wondering this - they're not qualified to be preachers.

GlobeBC And we are wondering which climate cultist will rely on ventilators made and run on renewable energy.

GlobeBC

GlobeBC He’s where He always is. Where do they think he is -South Korea!

GlobeBC There is no God, so the question is irrelevant

GlobeBC Your imaginary friend does not exist.

GlobeBC Self distancing

GlobeBC Having fun

GlobeBC its almost as if he didn't exist

GlobeBC Maybe bringing down his judgement ion mankind for its sinful ways?

GlobeBC I thought he was in our hearts ♥️

GlobeBC God is healing the planet because nobody was listening to the warnings he/she sent.

GlobeBC Well, He didn’t stop the Holocaust... or the sexual slavery in Syria.... but I’m sure this is on the top of his list.

GlobeBC ask Friedrich Nietzsche

GlobeBC I don’t believe that Ramadan will be shut down but maybe it will be- they can’t isolate the illegal immigrants in France now, with the virus crisis, without riots erupting - Canadian MSM seldom if ever reports on the riots in France nor does it show videos- think about it

GlobeBC There is no God! God is a work of fiction! 🤦‍♂️

GlobeBC ☝️

GlobeBC If they are really preachers ,they wouldn't be wondering.

GlobeBC I think cdnmedia thinks it’s PMJT and he thinks it’s CPHO_Canada Teresa always late Tam. And she thinks it DrTedros and the WHO. And they don’t think but are owned by china. So Confucius say God is KungFlu ? Maybe?

GlobeBC Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, And render unto every man according unto all his ways, Whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men): God is in heaven were he always is. All men shall have what is coming to him..

GlobeBC God....what a joke. Glad he's wondering

GlobeBC Watching Tiger King on Netflix, like everybody else!

GlobeBC Social distancing in the everywhere and everywhen.

GlobeBC Busy digging graves

GlobeBC God is staying home

GlobeBC Silly, he's in self isolation.

GlobeBC Probably where he’s always been.

GlobeBC Seriously? Any preacher that's wondering where God is, shouldn't be preaching. Are you just making this up?
