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.
