Whose Wall (Kotel) is it anyway?

26 Iyar 5773, 42nd day of the Omer

Women of the Wall, as I’ve shared before, is a group of women of all denominations, which has been praying monthly at the Kotel for the past 24 ½ years to welcome the new Hebrew month.

It’s a creative solution yet one that can not be implemented immediately.

Yesterday, I joined in solidarity with Women of the Wall at the “Wake up for Religious Tolerance” Service in NYC. Women of the Wall began in Jerusalem, 24 ½ years ago, when I was a first year rabbinical student at HUC-JIR. As the 20th anniversary of Ordination approaches, my classmates and I recently reflected on our experiences with WOW in the year 1988-1989.
