AdvertisementNew York City police were forced to break up a large funeral for a rabbi who recently died from the coronavirus just days after crowds packed the streets for another rabbi's procession. A second funeral was held elsewhere in Brooklyn on Sunday for Rabbi Shalom Gurewicz, according to Collive.com. That funeral procession made headlines after many of the mourners were seen close together without any facial coverings. New York City is the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States - with more than 67,500 cases and 2,624 deaths as of Sunday afternoon. Hundreds gathered in Brooklyn last Wednesday for the funeral of 96-year-old Yosef Leifer.
