Rabbis call on haredi girls to hold mass prayer at Kotel
Haredi leaders rabbis Ovadia Yosef and Aharon Leib Shteinman called on Ulpan female students to hold a mass prayer at the Western Wall on Friday in an attempt to push aside the Women of Wall prayer set for the same time. However, the rabbis stressed there is no need to act provocatively or violently.
The protest comes in response to a Jerusalem District Court ruling last month, whereby a group of female worshippers may conduct their pluralistic customs in the holy site. (Kobi Nachshoni)
