I meant both. I felt perfectly capable of making this decision for
myself. <br><br>

Ben Waxman posted the following on Areivim on 12/16/13 regarding the
recent snow storm in EY.<br><br>
<font size=3>From Rav Fuerstein<br><br>
1) Anyone who does not live close to shul should not risk the fall
walking to shul.<br>
2) If there you aren't sure that there will be minyan, don't take the
chance in walking.<br>
3) Shul should cancel any scheduled shiyur.<br><br>
<br>
</font>So it seems to me from 1,2 and 3 that Rav Fuerstein felt that
everyone should not decide or perhaps was not capable of properly
deciding for themselves. <br><br>
