The Israeli Health Minister Yaakov Litzman said that he is praying that the messiah will come shortly before Passover, the symbol of deliverance, to save Israelis from the Coronavirus.  Litzman, who is affiliated with the United Torah Judaism Party, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish Party associated with the Haredim, continued saying, “I am confident that the Messiah will come and bring us out of Corona just like how God brought us out of Egypt.  Soon he will save us from all the misfortunes of the world.”  Litzman’s comments came in response to a reporter’s question from Station 12 about if Israelis will remain in lockdown until Passover.
