Re: KI "news to me"

In general I don't think the Sephardim are as strict, though being an
Ashkenazi myself I don't know that I'm quite fully qualified to comment on
the topic with any real authority. But Judith Frankel has performed at one
of the local Sephardic Orthodox shuls. So, l'maaseh, I have at least one
example.
BTW I once got away with sneaking it in at MY shul- in a Purim schpiel ;-)
