Haaretz The Jerusalem District Court ruled Thursday that women praying at the
Western Wall with prayer shawls and tefillin does not constitute a
violation of “local custom” or a provocation, and therefore, no
justification exists for detaining and interrogating women who engage in
these practices.
The
ruling is a major victory for the Women of the Wall organization in its
ongoing battle against police and the Orthodox authorities in charge of
prayer rules at the holy site.
The
district court also ruled that contrary to police interpretations of a
previous Supreme Court ruling, there is no prohibition preventing women
from holding their own prayer services at the Western Wall nor any
requirement that they congregate instead at the nearby Robinson’s Arch.[...]
Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz said he will look into the
ruling and consult with state's legal representative to examine its
consequences.
"The Western Wall is the last
unifying place we have," he said. "It is easy to enflame the Western
Wall it divineness. It is much more difficult to the find the middle
route that will allow everyone to feel included and wanted at the
Western Wall."
"I beg the authorities as well as
the silent majority who care deeply for the Wall, to prevent extremists
from turning it into a site antagonism between brothers," Rabinowitz
added.
'Women needlessly abused for years'
The police seem to understand what the court does not.If it circulated in Charedi circles that reform leader,Anat Hoffman is creating a synagogue at the kosel there could be a riot or riots.The police are so strict with these people in order not to have to deal with that possibility.It would be a huge headache for them.

ReplyDeleteIs it an aveira for a woman to wear a Tallis? What about counting the omer or saying Krias Shema?
ReplyDeleteYes it is an aveira. Because it is not being done in the spirit of Rashi's daughters as a lifnei mishuris hadin. It is being done as a rebellion by women against men.
DeleteFeminism will annihilate any civilization it takes root in. I use those words without exaggeration.
