Women of the Wall (WoW) and supporters were on hand at the Kosel on Wednesday, the second day of Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan to take part in the organization’s monthly provocation at the holy site.
The group consisted of both men and women carrying Sifrei Torah, headed by the WoW leaders and senior members of Israel’s Reform and Conservative Movements.
They arrived early, about 6:30AM, carrying the Sifrei Torah explaining they are going to take part in a Rosh Chodesh “equality prayer” event.
They explained “today we liberated the Kosel from chareidi hands”, adding they will not permit chareidim to determine who and how persons pray at the site. It did not take long for confrontations to erupt between the provocateurs and mispallalim.

It’s difficult to justify the lack of comments or support for the group: : Women For the Wall”… we have given up?
If they really gave a hoot about Judaism they were there every day and not every Rosh Chodesh. Besides what do they care about a Sefer Torah. They read it but don’t follow it. Maybe they should listen when the (Real) Rabbi try to explain to them.
This is all Soros and ultra leftist garbage. Just follow the money trail and you will see that that’s what this twisted sisters are all about. They do not care about Judaism, they do not care about feminism, they do not care about reformism, they just care about money. You tell them to jump and they will answer you how much and they will ask you how high. Disgusting!
How do they know that it’s Rosh Chodesh?
They just want to mock the Torah and Tfillin and have action. They don’t keep the Torah look the way they act and look
