New York, USA. Girls from Yeshiva Breshet Shalhevet join hundreds of Jews and supporters to protest in front of the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center on opening night, Monday, September 22, 2014 against the October performance of the opera, "The Death of Klinghoffer". The 1991 opera by John Adams portrays the murder of 69 year old wheelchair bound Leon Klinghoffer by terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Front in 1985 aboard a cruise ship. The coalition of organizations behind the protest contend that the opera is anti-semitic and will incite hatred agains Jewish people. © Richard B. Lev
