Thousands of mispallelim arrived at the Kosel plaza for Shacharis on Sunday morning, Rosh Chodesh Sivan.
However, the tranquil scene was disturbed by a group of around 20 women and men from Women of the Wall who turned the scene into a Reform provocation, davening in the women’s section contrary to the law and in a manner that disturbed the other women davening there.
The group succeeded in smuggling a Sefer Torah into the plaza. To the astonishment of many, a unit of the Israel Border Police that arrived as reinforcement, together with police forces and personnel from the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, chose not to enforce the law. The forces stood around, protected the lawbreakers, and allowed the Sefer Torah to be raised after being brought in contrary to regulations.
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation stated: “We condemn the provocation by Women of the Wall in bringing a Sefer Torah into the Kosel plaza contrary to regulations and in turning the Kosel into a protest site. On this day, when Am Yisrael commemorates being ‘as one person with one heart’ at Har Sinai, the Kosel was disgraced by protests and shouting due to their actions.”

Lunatic reform women backed by the deformed movement who get funding from the Israeli government.Its all about money to the reform leaders who are losing their youth in America to intermarriage and assimilation. They are a movement on life support. In twenty years virtually all reform temples will be sold to orthodox institutions.
Dear Yeshiva World News and it’s participants,
I am shocked and horrified at the Chutzpah! of the women of the ‘Wall’. How can they be so blatant, these reformed jewish women, by sneaking around and putting Torah to shame and allowing a raising of the Torah by these women to show their utter defiance of Torah Law as it applies only to Torah Men and never, not at all, to Torah women.
The Torah is never meant to be ‘women’ handled in such a careless manner. Torah needs full respect and the fact that there was no interference by the Israeli authorities to stop such an obvious display of disregard for the Torah of H”M, was unconscionable.
I can’t see why Israeli authorities are on the side of these reform jewish women and not on the side of the Torah Men who are never to allow Torah to be handled by a women minority in such a display of arrogance and Chutzpah by the obviously deranged Torah reform jewish women.
Seems like every month they manage to “smuggle it’ so easily that I think smuggling is the wrong word to be using
dlm- because the state doesn’t respect religion and it never has. Whatever God hates they embrace
