Of course, a bunch of Orthodox women dancing together isn’t exactly provocative, as many bloggers have already pointed out (including 972’s Roee Ruttenberg , who called the effusive performance “antagonistic and counterproductive.” Dude needs to relax–tefillin too tight, bro?)
Still, it made a statement heard ’round the world that not all observant Jews are psychos who expectorate on little girls or make women sit at the back of the bus. But a protest that included a penis would have been much more effective.
*sigh.* Why does life always seems to be one drag queen short of a revolution?
all I can think of albiet cliche…is “YOU GO GIRLS!!”
This is cool.
I think the next song should be
Rolling Stones: I’m Free
Good Luck
I don’t think your drag queen is missing, Yenta. Somewhere, a gay Zoroastrian Farsi man. Freddie Mercury, waves in support, and is thrilled that his voice accompanied this.
