I wish a reporter would ask them if they want the Bais HaMikdash rebuilt and the resumption of Korbonos? They will answer no, which is the Reform position. That would prove that they are only trying to stir up trouble, because the whole point of the Kosel really means nothing to them. Where were they on T’ B’Av?

First I would like to say that as a person who people define as “Dati Leumi” (I like to just see myself as a Jew living in Eretz Yisrael) I am absolutely opposed to allowing the Reform and Conservative movements any foothold in the State of Israel. Thew creation of this “prayer area” is tragic as it marks the official recognition of the Reform and Conservative movements by the State of Israel. Furthermore the State will provide them with Sifrei Torah and upkeep the area.

With that said I find it funny that both the Charedim and the Reform are fighting over the Kotel. Its kind of like if a father would give his son a very expensive gift. The Child takes out the gift and starts to play with the box. In walks his mentally ill brother and becomes jealous that the healthy son gets to play with the box and they both begin to fight over the box. Meanwhile the evil cousin comes in and starts to destroy the expensive gift that the father bought the son, but both the healthy and retarded child are to busy fighting over the box to realize what is happening.

I am sure you now understand this story is an allegory for what is happening on Har HaBayit. The healthy Jews (Haredim) have thrown away Har HaBayit (the gift)and our now fighting over the box (the Kotel) with the retarded brother(The Reform). Meanwhile our evil cousin (the Arabs) are desecrating the precious present (Har HaBayit) are we are still fighting over who will control the box.

It seems we have all become the retarded brother.

“…..Zionism is the first step to abandonning Torah. We can be modern zionists or we can be Torah Yidden, but we can’t be both….”

Is THAT a fact?
What does WOW have to do with Zionism?
Under the Muslims, by the way, man and women prayed at the Kotel without a mechitza, or didn’t you know that?
Nobody has been vindicated. Israel is H-E-E-E-re, B’H, for the upteenth time, and it’s obviously giving you sleepless nights and miserable days.

so i have a question . I realize this is all about publicity and has nothing to do with women’s rights. If it did, then why are they “satisfied” to daven on the women’s side altogether? Either they agree to respect the holiness of the traditions of Judaism, Or they dont they cant have it both ways.

Correction to my previous post:

“Women of the Wall” (WoW) are having a 24-hour “Sit-In” at the Kosel today,

from 6 pm today, until 6 pm (NOT 6 am) on Monday.

Per their Facebook page:

“We will be having a 24 hour sit-in at the Kotel from 6 PM today until 6 PM tomorrow, to reject the exile of women from the holy site.”

Will someone please tell WoW that women ARE allowed to pray at the Kosel and are NOT exiled from there?

SInce Israel is a democracy, accommodations are make for all groups. A coed, separate area is workable for everyone instead of Monthly fights, attacks and media fests.

#6 hoidem boidem klots What does one have to do with the other?

Do you have no shame for not understanding that ONLY those who are proud of their Yiddishkeit and Torah and are not ready to give up their souls to be shmad in the army that should control the wall?

it is interesting the people who refuse to protect the wall by thinking they should not be drafted are the same ones who feel they should control the wall. some have no shame
