Ultra-Orthodox Jews who believe that the Internet threatens their way of life have rented the New York Mets stadium for an unprecedented gathering on how to use modern technology in a religiously appropriate way.
The rally is being organized by a rabbinical group called Ichud Hakehillos Letohar Hamachane, which means Union of Communities for the Purity of the Camp. Published reports have put the cost at $1.5 million. Kobre would not confirm that amount, and he said the funders prefer to remain anonymous.
Spokesmen for the Mets and for the U.S. Tennis Association did not immediately respond to phone messages seeking information about what the rally organizers were paying to rent the stadiums.
Women will not be permitted at either stadium but the rally will be broadcast live to audiences of women in schools and event halls in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods. Kobre said live hookups are also being arranged elsewhere in the U.S. and internationally.
There is a conspiracy here..why the amount and source is not being disclosed? Is it because tax payers are paying for this or the Israeli government which is again funded by the American taxpayers?
Why the women are not being allowed on American soil when there is a rule of equality?
Isn't it sort of funny how all the fundamentalist theists keep women firmly under control?
expect more restrictions on the internet,

Nah, it's just none of our business.

It has nothing to do with keeping women under control. Perhaps you should brush up on Jewish beliefs?
expect more restrictions on the internet,
I will…but not caused by this gathering.
