Jerusalem: Youth arrested for spitting on Women of Wall
Dozens of worshippers from the group Women of the Wall and their supporters held Rosh Hodesh prayers, with the help of women from the western wall plaza of the Kotel, as they do each month. As they were walking out a religious youth spat on them and threw things. He was arrested and taken in for questioning.
Thousands of haredim and haredi women held prayers for the health of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, with the participation of his son, Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef. Both events were peaceful. ( Kobi Nachshoni)
