JERUSALEM (VINnews) — MK Gilad Kariv, a reform rabbi, has no qualms about using his immunity to cause controversy and strife at the Kotel, the holiest Jewish site. Kariv continues every Rosh Chodesh to flagrantly violate the Justice Ministry’s rules and regulations at the holy site, which stipulate that no Sifrei Torah can be taken to the women’s section.

A small group of about twenty Women of the Wall arrived at the Kotel as they do every Rosh Chodesh and Kariv utilized his immunity to bring them a Sefer Torah. The Western Wall Foundation’s attendants tried to dissuade Kariv from causing tensions but he insisted on bringing the Sefer Torah despite catcalls and angry gestures from other worshipers.

The Western Wall Foundation said that “we have an extremely complex challenge and invest huge efforts to enable the Rosh Chodesh prayers to continue as usual and we request that all disputes and demonstrations should be removed from the Kotel plaza and it should remain a holy and uniting place.”
Kariv said that he “gave the Women of the Wall a Sefer Torah due to the illegal directive of the Officiator of Holy Sites, Rav Shmuel Rabinowitz, who prevents taking Sifrei Torah to the Kotel plaza.
“The Kotel belongs to all of us and not just to Netanyahu, the rabbi of the Kotel and the chareidi parties who derailed the historic compromise deal. The prayer service this morning reminds us that most of the Israeli public opposes the attempt to legislate a monopoly of the Chief Rabbinate over Kotel prayers, ” Kariv added.
Mr. Kariv is. a present day Hellenistic Jew.
Theres no such thing as a reform rabbi, that’s like kosher pork.
Not the only occurrence making the Kotel an impossible place to daven. Let’s see as much revulsion from the usual suspects about the “פרובקציה” of panhandlers shoving their hands in your face and going “ching-ching” while you are in the middle of שמנה עשרה.
Expect more spiteful acts from leftists in the years to come. If Haredim tried to sneak a mechitzah in to a reform temple they will be thrown in jail. Leftist privilege
He and the WoW are totally and absolutely disgusting.
They only do this to provacate nastiest against the religious.
We should all daven that someone’s bringing a sefer torah to the kotel’s ezras nashim would be the greatest problem facing klal yisroel, that there be no more poverty, no more terrorism, no more war, no more kids off the derech and killing themselves with drugs, no more alcoholism, etc, etc.
Fragmentation is the first step toward dissolution and Chaos. Unity is the first step toward Community. Where are our humble leaders and role models? Are we all greedy and power hungry? Zachor. We are all temporary tourists in Hashem’s world ….May the weapons of war be melted may Ahavas Chinom reign in a world empty of Chesed Emes v’Tsedek…Humbly .Yehuda Zev HaCohen
Zionists minister hates halacha
Probably not a kosher torah. May have been written by a soferet or someone not frum or silk set
This scoundrel may have immunity from law, but he doesn’t have immunity from fists or stones well applied to his organism. Where are the men of action?
If only the hooligans of Bait Shemesh and Meah Shaorim woud protest this as they would a cellphone, this would not be happening.
Such evil.
Will he start an Israeli branch of yaffed? He looks like nick.
Lock him up
