I apologize in advance if you find descriptions that display ignorance or arrogance on my part toward the enormous Iranian audience I encountered this week. I apologize in advance for my surprise at finding happy Iranians, thirsty for culture and without veils or turbans, welcoming an Israeli who infiltrated the center of culture and glory that for one night belonged only to them. There’s no doubt that at the performance of the famous Iranian singer Moein at the giant Warner Theatre in Washington, DC, I had an experience that was both eye-opening and sobering.
Until this week I didn’t know who Moein was, and I didn’t realize he had so many fans all over the globe, who fill huge halls to hear his songs. I also discovered that Moein also has many fans in Israel, especially among Iranian Jews.
