Police intervened last night to prevent religious zealots from breaking into the “Eros Boutique.” Jerusalem’s first “sex shop.” The zealots, led by Rabbi Amram Blau of the Neturei Karta, had donned sackcloth and ashes to protest the “profanation of the Holy City.” A shouting match ensued during which some of Blau’s followers struck police, but were persuaded to return home. No arrests were made.
