"Women of Provocation" Again Desecrate the Western Wall at Rosh Chodesh Prayer

Members of the "Women of the Wall" group arrived this morning at the Western Wall plaza and disrupted thousands of worshippers during the Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan prayer. Among the participants was a man who disguised himself as a woman and was removed by police from the women's section. The incident adds to the ongoing controversy over the group's prayers at the site.

Members of the "Women of the Wall" group, called in the article "Women of Provocation," arrived this morning (Monday) at the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem and disrupted thousands of worshippers who came for the festive Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan prayer. According to a report by the channel's correspondent Yehuda Aharon, the group's members came in a small minority, and among them was even a man who disguised himself as a woman and was removed by police from the women's section. The group's activity, known as "Women of the Wall," has stirred public and religious controversy for years. Its members come to the Western Wall plaza on Rosh Chodesh, when the nature of the prayer does not match the customs of the place and the arrangements customary in the plaza, according to the article. One of the main points of controversy is bringing Torah scrolls into the Western Wall plaza, which requires approval in accordance with procedures. The current incident adds to the ongoing controversy over the monthly prayers at the site.
