A singer who performed in front of a “mixed audience” of men and women was lashed 39 times to make him “repent,” after a ruling by a self-described rabbinic court on Wednesday. Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak, founder of the Shofar organization aimed at bringing Jews “back to religion” (hazara betshuva), has made it his recent mission to fight against musical performances for both men and women. His “judicial panel,” with Rabbi Ben Zion Mutsafi and another member, sentenced Erez Yechiel to 39 lashes in order to “rid him of his sins.” In a video clip of the court posted on the Shofar Web site, Ben Zion said that those who make others sin (mahtiei rabim), such as artists who make men and women attend performances or dance together, have no place in the world to come. He displayed a leather strip he said was made by his father from ass and bull skin, with which Yechiel was to have been whipped. Yechiel, who said, “I accept upon myself the lashing for my sins,” was ordered to stand by a wooden poll with his head facing north (“from whence the evil inclination comes”), his hands tied with a azure-colored rope (“a symbol of mercy”), and served his “sentence.”

I don't think Nebby reads in English very well.
He sure doesn't understand it.
Keep it up Skip. "He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice..." Do you want a check-mark AND an asterisk by your name?

Hmmmm...nope, Full-blooded American! I hope you're familiar with just how bloody the American civil war was in Missouri and Kansas. Just realize that history repeats itself Mininggold. Pay close attention to this man's face. It does.

Oooooh, you are trying to sound so ominous. So what states are the Feds going to stop from seceding this time? You're such a nanny stater, you will be on the side of the Feds anyway. The American Civil War, an odd way to put it from a 'Full-blooded American' with a capital 'F'. LOLOL
Nebby gives me the creeps.
