The churban wrought by the so-called “Women of the Wall” is now at its next step, with the Israeli government having approved a compromise to expand the non-Orthodox section of the Kosel, putting to rest the decades-long fight instigated by the Women of the Wall.
Today’s deal will ensure that the non-Orthodox prayer section at the wall will become much larger and more accessible.
The Conservative and Reform movements are declaring victory.
The size of the non-Orthodox section of the Kosel will double to nearly 10,000 square feet.
In response to the decision regarding the Kosel, the head of the Knesset Finance Committee called Reform Jews “clowns.”
“The Reform are a group of clowns stabbing the holy Torah,” Moshe Gafni of Degel Hatorah. “We will never ever recognize this group of clowns, not at the Kosel, nor anywhere else.”
