Thousands gather at Western Wall for Hoshana Rabba

Mass prayers held at Western Wall ahead of Simhat Torah. Up to 8,000 worshippers permitted to gather at the Western Wall Plaza.

Tell me again that Judaism isn’t an ancient religion, and the Jews and ancient people. Thousands of Jews gathered at the same place as our ancestors thousands of years ago. What other people can say that?

Division at the Western Wall is no path to unity - Opinion - Jerusalem Post

Over 60% of American Jews are totally unaffiliated, and have little or no interest in Judaism, Israel, Jerusalem or the Western Wall.

I know that this article will be controversial to many people, and is not what those same people want to hear. I would be interested in hearing a commons sense, FACT driven response that would refute any of the logic here. I do not believe that that is possible. From the article:

"Gender-separate prayer services are no “ultra-Orthodox” invention; they are part of our universal Jewish heritage. Descendants of refugees from Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Algeria pray at the Western Wall, alongside those whose grandparents were born in Israel and those who immigrated to escape Soviet oppression and antisemitism in France – joined by immigrants and students from America and around the globe. Despite millennia of dispersion, Jews everywhere follow the same basic prayer service. In our common Jewish practice, we find unity."

I agree. We should NOT be basing decisions about the Kotel on emotions.

A Rabbi & The Pope | Jlife

"Asked about the appropriate response to Islamic terrorism, Skorka remarked, “The best response is Jews, Christians, and responsible Muslims, working for peace.” He added that “peace is the only way to worship G-d.
