The car failed to  to stop at a stop sign on Hoshea Street.

As a result, the eight year-old boy was hit in the head and was transported to a local hospital.

Rabbi Abraham Benjamin Silberberg, a senior rabbi in Gur, has issued eleven new decrees for Gur followers.

Rule number 8 on the list prohibits men from getting a driver’s license. “It is self understood that women are also banned from driving,” the letter states.


Rule number 9 prohibits men from riding bicycles.

Rule number 10 also prohibits families from going to a hotel.
