In a display of the changes the group has experienced this year, Women of the Wall held a peaceful prayer service under police protection at the Western Wall to mark the group’s 25th anniversary.
Girls affiliated with the modern Orthodox Bnei Akiva movement reportedly will join haredi Orthodox girls at the Western Wall for a prayer service against Women of the Wall.
Women of the Wall presented 16 conditions under which the group would move its monthly prayer service to a third, egalitarian section of the Western Wall’s plaza.
