 "The
Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle has dropped Leonard Nimoy from its
Oct. 23 fund-raiser because of images in the former Star Trek star's
art photography book of naked and partially dressed women, some with Jewish
ritual items. Federation director Barry Goren withdrew the invitation
Wednesday in an 'unpleasant' conversation, Nimoy told The Seattle Times
for an article published Thursday. "'I think it's pretty self-explanatory,' Goren said. 'If you were running a charity fund-raising dinner and there were going to be images of naked women or naked women with Jewish ritual objects draped on them, that might be offensive to some folks.' The cover for Nimoy's book, Shekhina, shows a woman with her left arm wrapped in phylacteries, a prayer accessory men traditionally wear, and her right breast visible through a translucent garment. The work is entirely 'reverential', said Nimoy, 71, a Jew who grew up in an Orthodox household and is now Reform. "Comedian Al Franken, author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot: And Other Observations, has been booked as a replacement, Goren said." |
