Women of the Wall
Women of the Wall is a group of Jewish women who advocate for the right to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Founded in 1988, the organization seeks to promote gender equality in religious practices and to challenge restrictions on women's prayer at this sacred site.
The group holds monthly prayer services at the wall, often facing opposition from ultra-Orthodox groups. Their efforts have sparked legal battles and public debates about religious freedom and women's rights within the Jewish community. The movement highlights ongoing tensions between tradition and modernity in religious practices.
