<div>IMHO the issue alluded to (in a post concerning orthodox non-compliance with Covid rules) may be more of one of not seeing the forest for the trees. When one is taught to look at the letter of the law exclusively one can forget about the spirit of the
law. The goal becomes the technical compliance (e.g. claiming kids are part of a permitted demonstration rather than learning in school) vs. technical and meta compliance (e.g. distancing to try to save lives rather than to meet technical distance criteria)
Thoughts on whether this is a common issue? I guess the other side is not looking at areas outside of ritual as being halachic issues?<br>
