Despite his verbal protest, flight attendants were unable to adhere to the man's request and they issued eye masks instead.

“It’s like the ultra-orthodox are becoming Amish or something.”

They’ve always been. Many of their women wear wigs so only their husbands see their real hair out of a false sense of modesty. .

Would that be The William Tell Overture?

Jewish man insisted the overhead television screens were be retracted

No. "were retracted" is correct. "be retracted" be ebonics

Seriously?! I hope that you are joking!

The fact is that the screens were, indeed, NOT in the retracted position. But he didn't like that situation: He wanted them to be retracted. So he demanded that they be retracted (so he and his children would then not have to see them).

Again, I hope that you are joking.

Regards,
