Hasidic Jews turn to court to challenge Quebec s COVID-19 nighttime curfew

Orthodox Jews must offer their evening prayers after dark and the clock change will mean the faithful will leave their places of worship after the 8 p.m. curfew takes effect in red zones, such as Montreal, according to the court filing. Evening prayer must be held after nightfall, which occurs every day 72 minutes after sunset, the filing reads. This is a practice followed religiously by the Hasidic Jewish community since time immemorial. Daylight time begins in Canada at 2 a.m. Sunday. Council vice-president Max Lieberman said a lack of flexibility from the province means that people will be forced to choose between practising their religion or respecting the curfew.
