JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Hundreds of worshipers protested as the Women of The Wall held prayer services Sunday which included protest shirts in violation of decisions by the court and attorney general which prohibit protests at the Western Wall.

The Western Wall Heritage Foundation said that the women had persistently acted in violation of these decisions. The foundation and the police called on the sides to prevent violence and desecration of the holy site and separated between the rival groups.
A Sefer Torah was also brought to the women’s section in violation of the rules. A senior official from the chareidi parties said that MK Gilad Kariv, a reform rabbi, had made a deal with police that he would not come and arouse provocations if the Women of the Wall would be allowed to bring a Sefer Torah.
Kariv denied the allegations but announced that he “congratulates the brave and courageous Women of the Wall who held prayers with Torah reading. We will act to implement the historic arrangement at the wall, which has broad coalition consensus. We will not allow Netanyahu and Deri to conduct a smear campaign stemming from political and personal reasons and deepen the polarization in Israeli society and in the Jewish people in Israel and the Diaspora.”
MK Itamar Ben-Gvir came to protest against the Women of the Wall and shouted that they are “desecrating a holy place.”
The Western Wall Foundation said that it is “upset over the incidents on Rosh Chodesh at the Western Wall” and called upon the public to “leave the wall as a holy and unifying place.”
Th Women of the Wall said that “we are proud and happy to read the Torah at the Western Wall and to reveal a female voice at the site. The Israeli government must implement the Western Wall arrangement as soon as possible.”
The Reformers seek to further their spiritual Holocaust they have created since their inception. Regardless of the era or geographic location they are a destructive force that needs to be eradicated which hopefully will happen soon with the coming of Moshiach.
Women off the wall
This is similar to how chanukah got started. Shanda!
Women off the wall, are mostly JINOs who don’t cover their hair or dress tznius, they don’t get any mitzvos for wearing tefillin at all
Does the Torah they read talk about the cohanim who served in the Bais Hamikdosh? They were male.
כָּל כְּבוּדָּה בַת מֶלֶךְ פְּנִימָה
There is a Medrash that says that when Yosef wanted to throw Shimon in prison, Paroh sent 70 of his best troops with chains to arrest him but Shimon defeated all of them with one loud bellow. Yosef then sent Menasheh, who was seated at Yosef’s feet, and Menasheh was able to subdue Shimon with one blow. The lesson to be learned is that the Jewish people will always survive any attack from other nations, but will be weakened if we fight from within.
Where was big talker gafni?
Where is paulinsaudi and Charlie Hall defending these trouble makers and defilers of the Torah?? Surprised we haven’t heard from them yet.
There are ways to stop the shnorers at the Kossel. My friend from Long Island in a Rosh Chodesh visit to the kosel was sorrounded by twenty
Shnorrers because he wears a blue shirt and tie and looks rich. He offered 500 dollars to any shnorrer who throws a table at these women. All refused and left him alone.
Typical Israeli way of dealing with issues!
Push and scream till someone wins!
Both sides are a bunch of Israeli sabras that thrive when screaming at each other.
I think that the schnorrers who constantly people davening at the wall, or visiting the wall, are more of a distraction than those women.
can someone please explain why a Gentile with a huge cross are allowed to go to the wall even in the mens section but a woman with a Sefer Torah or Tfilin not?
Look if the chairadim were secure with who they are, they wouldn’t really care what anyone, wow were doing .
Oh yeah, the charedi say that women are equal, that women are important, that women are… blah blah blah. But just try to let women pray to HaShem and you see what charedi really believe.
Kol hakoivid to them! The main issue we need to focus on is getting the Haredim to comply with all the COVID safety measures.
Leave them alone, they’re looking for attention.
They are not dangerous either because there is no such a thing that a Heimishe boy should want to become a reform, if anything he might want to become a OTD, and not believe in anything.
