Mazel tov all round. But couldn’t it have had a different name? I don’t think “Idol” is suitable for a contest held in association with our community. It’s fine a for the general public TV show. I notice that the same kind of competition held in Afghanistan (and the very first one to do so) was re-named Afghanistan’s Singing Hero.
