'Porn' exhibit riles Jewish neighbors

The New York Post reports:
A racy new exhibit on display at a Lower East Side art gallery is causing great tsuris among its Orthodox Jewish neighbors.

Members of a nearby synagogue and Hebrew school are outraged over the lurid artwork on display in the Allegra LaViola Gallery's new "Pornucopia" exhibit, which features a slew of sexy nude images of men and women, some having sex.

Some of the "porn" pieces are clearly visible through the East Broadway gallery's windows -- and people are fuming that kids are being exposed to smut.
