expurgate is another word I could have used, but I liked the 'fig leaf' image, as in 'cover up they nakedness' in the garden of Eden and how 'the statue of David' was given a fig leaf, so as to not offend 'our senses'.




Does anyone consider the offense to Jews by showing David as being uncircumcised?
