hashem is a fucking arsehole

@SuriNin3 Hashem wants us to follow His Torah, which means that women are not allowed to wear a tallit or get an aliyah either. Why this is against halacha is unknown because it is Hashem's laws. But every jew has to follow Halacha whether they understand the law or not

@KingOyster As nombei7 said, what chutzpah to think you know what HaShem wants!
-
@KingOyster She wasn't trying to daven on the men's side. She was trying to hold a Torah and wear a tallit on the WOMEN'S side.

the diffrence between Hafman and Parks is Parks was simply refuseing to move. she fought an unjust law that treated African americans like they are not even human. The reason men and women are sperated during prayer is to help with concentration.

I must agree with the man at 1:48. the Kotel just like the whole world belongs to HaShem we are just the caretakers!

So this is more important than the real people of these lands being kicked out of it?!

Since religions dictate different behaviors by gender, there's bound to be conflict. The question is how to address legitimate concerns while staying true to the belief system.
As Jews, we value human rights. We are a fair people & a thinking people. We must be progressive, otherwise we will be no better than extremists in Pakistan who cut off women's noses or throw acid in their faces for wanting an education. If you want women to behave, move to Saudi Arabia, otherwise be enlightened.

they ALL should have been arrested!

The Western Wall was made a fault line where Jewish Feminist Egalitarianism collides with a growing, politicized Chareidi movement. It's not likely the Wall Women will accept contemporary halakha being read to them nor will the Chareidi public react to them through any other behavior beside hysterics and violence- hence the impasse. The halakhic community would have served its public image and interests better had they ignored the activists, prayer shawled or not.
This is not undermining traditional Judaism. There was no separation at the Kotel between sexes in the 20's and 30's, nor was there separation in any synagogue until the 16th century. The Talmud states that women may chant Torah (although it is not recommended when men are around). There has never been only one way to be Jewish, and those who claim that Orthodox Judaism is the same as traditional Judaism are mistaken or worse. What chutzpah to think you know what HaShem wants!

There WAS no public prayer when women were there. Get your facts straight, 1/2 truth are WHOLE LIES.
