Rabin Square concert called off over female-free protest
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA planned event in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square to mark Yom Kippur has been called off after protests over the lack of any women on the lineup.
The move comes after Radio Lev Hamedina, one of the sponsors of the October 9 show, pulled out.
Some singers scheduled to take part in the show, also either canceled or said they would reconsider appearing at the concert, which was supposed to be themed on traditional prayers from the Day of Atonement.
Instead, according to media reports, organizers will put on an event made up of traditional prayers of supplication, or slichot, without any performers.
