Circus is a children’s gathering for childish entertainment. Ballgames fit within the Talmud's prohibition. Joining with, celebrating with, and being a part of their world. We are so far from remembering that we are in Galut (exile) and remembering even the recent Holocaust. We are right back to partying with our lovely neighbors. Many of who ignored the cries of 6 million of our brothers and sisters as they burned in the ovens. I went down and saw those ovens for myself. The world stood still.... Even our own lovely friends in the then British Palestine with their Jewish collaborators who just couldn't find the place to put a million Jews. "Sorry Hitler but you are going to have to keep them. Burn them. Whatever." We would God Forbid never drive a German car, but let's go right back in to where we were clearly evicted, both by the people themselves, and of course by God himself. I think we missed the point. AA
