> Punishment for performance in front of "mixed audience."
>
> 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.”
