ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (06.10.16)
Ladies, or, should I say, "girls," - grow up already. Signed, a 64 year-old Woman.
2. Women of The Wall....
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (06.10.16)
What a bunch of ignoramii!
3. Is there an eleventh commandment
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (06.10.16)
that "Thou shalt not allow women to pray at the wall? I must have missed it. Where are the "Sons of Aaron?" Rabbi's are not Aaron's sons, they've changed the law to suit themselves and made Israel look like women haters. Say it aint so.
5. Shmuel Rabinovitz is a blasphemer
Sidney ,   California   (06.10.16)
How dare he claim that Hashem is a bigot and that he himself is the designated enforcer of that bigotry.
6. Majority of Israelis and Reform movement
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (06.10.16)
From my personal experience, the majority of secular Israelis in Israel and those who go to live in the diaspora have NOTHING in common with the reform movement. True, neither has much to do with Orthodox, but there the comparison stops. The Reform movement is mostly made up of people who intermarry and want nor know what religious observation is. The secular Israeli knows what is Judaism yet chooses not to observe. However, when he does choose to observe, say like at a yartziet or to come to the synagogue, he prefers going to the Orthodox, since to the Israeli, a) it is in Hebrew, his language and b) it is what he considers 'religion'. The reform on the other side, have no knowledge of what is traditional, have no desire to observe any tradition and are so intermarried that it is getting almost impossible to find a family in reform who is not intermarried. Because of intermarriage having such a terrible stigma by most other Jews, they are promoting Reform as a 'good' and 'equal' version of Judaism. or else they must accept themselves as Jews who do not care. Secular Israelis rarely intermarry and therefore have little need for reform.
7. motivation: anti-God
Ari G. ,   Afula   (06.10.16)
The motivation of the Women off the Wall is not to come closer to God, but a continued movement to deny religious people their connection to God and at the same time to act in a manner to continue the reform movement's denial of God. I seriously doubt if these 'dedicated' women observe kashrut, mikvah or the shabbat. It would be interesting for some one to investigate them and reveal what they are really like.
8. Obviously this gives meaning to women with no life otherwise
(06.10.16)
9. Religious practice has nothing in common with democracy or
(06.10.16)
equal rights and should not be forced to bow to secular norms, unless it directly causes harm to people. (it does anyhow, just by being a brainwashing doctrine, but that's another issue) These women could contemplate getting a LIFE instead!
10. Transgender Rabbis @ the Kotel next
OnlyMeretz@Prayer ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.10.16)
It should be obvious to anyone who knows what Reform is from the US that it is in reality not a religious organization any more just a "progressive" extreme liberal political arm of the Democratic Party quickly degenerating into anarchy just before the last "Reformer" puts the lights out They already have their first Transgender "Rabbi" no doubt that will be the next demo at the Kotel Israel musnt give into to this passing madness Their "Temples" are closing all over the US why restart them here let them die out with a sputter over there
11. Troubled Ladies of a Dying Movement
ReformedIntoNothing ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.10.16)
Watching the tens of thousands of Orthodox girls in the Jerusalem Day parade from the distance at the Hebrew Union College were what looked like two very masculine Lesbians wearing boots and rolled up jeans and kippot probably "Rabbis " studying there they looked on bewildered as the thousands passed by singing and dancing probably imagining their empty white elephant "Temples " in the US Most Reform admit to being Atheists prayer at the Kotel or any other place has no meaning for them ditto the Priestly Blessing this is nothing more than PC Feminist Madness out to throw their weight around
12. These Fraus are Frauds
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.10.16)
I see nothing "religious" about these women who are performing acts of impious shenanigans only to provoke and upset Orthodox Jews. I have great difficulty in believing that the true motivation of these women is to sincerely worship God and observe His commandments in a Torah way.
13. thanks 2 all sides 4 shining example of "Sinat Chinam"!
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (06.10.16)
Both sides are block-headed ... taking to either side is like talking to a wall! Both sides believe that each one has the exclusive right to do as they wish at the Kotel...both sides are wrong! All they are doing is fanning the flames of Sinat Chinam (baseless hatred) ... at the end of the day we will all get punished! A true Shanda!
14. Women At Kotel
Zvi ,   Toronto   (06.10.16)
Blame the main stream politician who are playing a game with backward rabbis who kidnapped the Jewish religion and want to keep it in the darkness of European medieval time (Mostly American Jews who want to continue to live in the Ghetto)
15. Women of the wall
Edmond Lavi ,   USA   (06.10.16)
Amen to the TRUTH!
16. Bibi " redetermined his position "
Avi L.   (06.10.16)
Bibi "redetermined his position following pressure from the ultra Orthodox, who backed away from the terms of the agreement". What's worth ultra orthodox's word? What's worth Bibi one's either? "legal regulations established for the holy places" are the ones established by the agreement, not the ones dictated by Bibi and his electoral blackmail. "The Kotel Agreement", which had legal force has been unilaterally violated by Bibi and accomplices.
