Barclays Center Offers Separate Men’s And Women’s Seating For Orthodox Jews At Concert
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe home of the Brooklyn Nets is courting a new crowd.
In what is believed to be a first for a major sports and entertainment venue, Barclays Center is offering gender-divided seating for ultra-Orthodox Jews at a public event.
Several hundred seats are being set aside so that Jewish men and women can sit in separate areas — as is custom — at a Feb. 28 concert by violinist Itzhak Perlman. The night features Jewish music and cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot. The tickets for the aisle-divided section cost $50. The remaining seats are open to anyone else.
