40K ultra-Orthodox Jews - Anti-Internet Rally at Citi Field - Video

40,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews filled up Citi Field last night in a "secret" rally against the Internet. 20,000 more were in Arthur Ashe stadium. Organizers tried to keep reporters out using Homeland Security. Ironically, the "evil" Internet already has all the info on the rally.

So surreal.

From Gothamist:

Some 40,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews packed Citi Field last night (with another 20,000 overflowing into Arthur Ashe stadium) for a huge rally warning about the evils of the Internet. If you're curious about what went on inside, look no further than the Internet, where the Twitter hastag #Asifa yields a slew of live updates from the rally. Organizers had futilely tried to keep the sold-out event private, to no avail. Josh Nathan-Kazis at the Forward was told that reporters would not be permitted inside because of Homeland Security.
