Interesting shiur sent by a friend.
A comment: Were Rabbonim wrong when they said to keep shuls open? Well, if you say that they were right then the Rabbonim who said to close were wrong. There was a dispute [at the time]. Were they BOTH right?? So what should we have done - closed and opened and closed and opened to be yotzei both opinions?? But that wouldn't have satisfied the opinion to close.... There IS a concept of אלו ואלו דברי א-להים חיים but what does that mean?? Beyond the scope of this post [discussed at length in the past].
See here and here and here.
