Shouldn't They Be Studying Torah, or Something?

I went to David Broza's free concert in Wilton, Conn., yesterday evening, which drew a huge crowd, by Connecticut standards. That had to be gratifying for the local federations that pitched in on this Israel 60th anniversary event.

What surprised me more than the crowd was who else Broza "attracted." Heading back to my car, who was there waving signs and being annoying but a crew from Neturei Karta -- the last people I would expect to be fans of secular Israeli music.

While they had to listen, the NK nudniks really just wanted to do their little bit to ruin the anniversary celebrations. Fortunately, penned outside the concert area, they were barely visible in the nutmeg darkness. I saw a few people stop to argue with them, and that was the extent of their impact.

Still, the cognitive dissonance of Keturei Karta running amok in bucolic Fairfield County is enough to make my head spin. A shot of Slivovitz set me straight.
