1. women reading from the Torah
Shira ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.20.15)
If a woman is not nidah, there is probably no problem with them having their own minyan. But I really think these women have their own agenda. Many of the women in their group are not dressed modestly? Why not? Isn't that important to them-at least as important as reading from the Torah? Do these woman keep Shabbat in the full Halachic sense? Seeing how they dress, I doubt it. Therefore, it appears that they are just trying to tear down Judaism and form their own tenents! I think they have a hatred and disrespect for traditional Judaism
2. Crossdressing is clearly prohibited in the Torah
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (04.20.15)
These women are in violation.
3. Women of the Wall
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (04.20.15)
So, Jewishness is defined by one's mother, but these most important people aren't good enough to read one thing or the other????? Are you serious?
4. Victory ! for what?
Judah ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.15)
What a load of baloney, this rabble have no following and this incident will gather them none. These are just a bunch of nuts who disrespect tradition.
5. Oooooh, they are soooo religious
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (04.20.15)
I bet they could care less about Shabbat and kashrut! What counts is to make a statement that they are can break the law. These women hate Judaism and seek to destroy it, but they will never succeed. They will see their children either marry non Jews or become overly religious zealots who hate their parents.
6. If YHWH was offended or pissed we'd know.

7. they look foolish and shallow
CJK   (04.20.15)
i am secular, but these women do not represent me. some traditions need to be kept before we disappear as jews. the kotel was set up as an orthodox synanogue. yes, the separation is difficult, but necessary. my representatives are the beautiful girls in the idf who fight for medinat israel.
8. Nice: kind of Torah-punk movement! :-))

14. Yerachmiel Halevi on FB, these feminist
Chaim   (04.20.15)
are too cowardly for that. They think they had a victory but in fact they lost. They lost the respect from everyone including non-Jews. These feminists are a bunch of insecure (mainly) divorced women who have very low self-esteem acting like kindergarten babies.
