Rabbi Neil's Pre-Shabbat Message - Facing Intolerance in Our City

The backstory here is that Matisyahu was going to hold a couple small shows in the SW, one in Santa Fe and the other in Tucson. Everything was going along fine until both shows were abruptly cancelled. The Tucson venue said it was because of threats and was concerned about security, so Matis offered to pay for extra security. The management didn't care for that and the event stayed cancelled. The actual reason the venues cancelled was because antisemitic staff members refused to work the event. The concert was held (for free) and another venue without incident.
