WOMAN OF THE WALL

‘Woman of the Wall’ Arrive And Create A Provocation At The Kosel On Rosh Chodesh





About a 35 member contingent of the Women of the Wall (WoW) arrived at the Kosel on Thursday morning, 2 Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, creating a provocation despite the regulations announced by Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.
The group made their way into the Ezras Nashim, depsite being instructed not to do this, and it immediately led to a confrontation with Orthodox mispallelim.
AG Mandelblit had prohibited WoW from holding their Rosh Chodesh service at the Kosel, insisting they use the alternate site allocated to them known as Robinson’s Arch.
WoW stated: “We refuse to enter that enclosure, which was presented as if it were meant to protect us, because it became a tool to protect the position of the Rabbi of the Kosel and to humiliate us. We have a right to daven as all women do”.
Kotel Heritage Foundation officials add, “Despite the foundation’s effort and that of police, to divide between groups, they chose to assimilate among the Orthodox women, and thus created a fuss and a controversy, contrary to the directives of the Ministry of Justice.
In their words, “Senior Ministry of Justice representatives were also present at the Kosel Plaza this morning to closely monitor the events at the Kosel and they saw a blatant violation of the laws and directives by WoW after a day previously, they received an additional warning from the deputy attorney general on the intention to take administrative measures If WoW violates the guidelines.”

I THINK THAT THE WOMAN OF THE WALL HAVE A POINT,BUT DO THEY KEEP THE MITZVOT GIVEN TO WOMAN, THEY ONLY WANT TO BREAK THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT ORTHODOX JEWS HAVE.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS RIGHT TO BAN THEM IF THEY WERE DEDICATE JEWS IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY, YOU CAN NOT BE A JEW IN ANY WAY YOU WANT, A JEW IS A PERSON WHO FOLLOWS G-D THROUGH THE LAWS OF THE TORAH.
