The Foundation stated that about 10 women from the organization attacked the Western Wall security guards.

A decisive majority of American Jews support the adversaries of Israel.

Meanwhile, the right-wing parties have discovered that the Kotel is a surefire issue to get the masses out.

Unlike American Jews who want their own share in the Kotel when they come to visit, the WOW are not interested in compromises.

There are some hard numbers about the Reform in Israel, and they're quite low.

What's religious about holding up empty Torah covers by the Kotel? It's a purely political act.

Kariv has preciously used his parliamentary immunity as an MK to break the rules of the Kotel plaza.

Anyway, we should add "No WOW clashes with Haredim at the Kotel" to the long list of #Coronavirusbenefits.

The Women of the Wall claimed that despite the Orthodox's promises to bring thousands of seminar girls to drown out and interrupt the WOW service, only a few showed up.

Of course, when he made the statement, Smotrich was referring to Chabadniks, but the statement he made.

WOW demanded the use of the PA system. Needless to say, the request – which was tantamount to asking firefighters for a light – was rejected by Rabbi Rabinovitch.

Last Sunday's political surveys, which gave Netanyahu's Likud party a boost to 34 Knesset from it current 30, also showed yet another drop for the Zionist Camp—a coalition of Labor and the Tzipi Livni Movement—from its current 24 to 10 seats.

Should the platform not be dismantled, the magnificent Robinson's Arch archaeological site would be destroyed, making "its very exposure a source of eternal lamentations."

Work is currently being carried out by the Israel Antiquities Authority, which has been contracted to establish the foundation for the new plaza.

The JPost couldn't help themselves, despite their attempt to come across as the rational side in this debate, when they referred to Amar as the "so-called chief rabbi of Jerusalem."

The members of the Conservative, Reform, Women of the Wall, and other non-Orthodox groups tell the high court that, as is always the case in real estate, they can no longer accept the devaluation of their share in the ancient relic on account of reduced exposure to street traffic, or, you guessed it: location, location, location.

If Jews had the ability to ignore religious provocation when they saw one, we'd still have the Second Temple, if not the First.

Alas, this dispute is not over a connection to God but over political turf, both regarding the Kotel and the conversions.

Both of Netanyahu's decisions caused a storm and created a rift with Diaspora Jews, most emphatically in the US.

Senior Jewish Agency officials are saying Sharansky is livid over the government's decision to cancel the Kotel plan.

Prime Minister Netanyahu suggested that 'the activism of the American Jewry does not always help.'

They obviously meant to write 'menacing hordes,' which is both more comprehensible and more insulting. But wait, there's more.

Happy Rosh Khodesh!
