When I was a teenager, Yerachmiel Begun and his Miami Boys Choir inspired me. I think the best Jewish song ever is Besiyata Dishmaya. Now, however, the Miami Boys Choir disgusts me, for appearing on this poster and singing at this event. The best limud zekhus I can find is that the image was placed without permission and a public apology will be forthcoming.
If no apology is published, should we boycott singers who participate in these concerts that are so insulting to our religion? May I suggest that, if not done already, our community's leaders privately contact these singers and strongly request that they stay away?
