Rabbi leads vigil outside Met to protest opera
NEW YORK - A prominent New York rabbi has led a prayer vigil outside the Metropolitan Opera to protest an opera that opponents say glorifies Palestinian terrorists.
Teenagers from Jewish faith-based schools joined Rabbi Avi Weiss on Monday in a makeshift prayer spot opposite the Met. They discussed Hebrew scriptures in shifts of about a dozen throughout the day.
An evening rally was planned over the Met's premiere of "The Death of Klinghoffer."
