Thousands of frum women are expected at the Kosel on Monday morning, Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av 5773 in line with the wishes of HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita and other rabbonim shlita, Yated Ne’eman reports.
The rabbonim are calling upon the women to attend to counter the “provocation of the Women of the Wall”. The event will begin at 6:30am, a half hour ahead of the WoW scheduled prayer event. Thousands are expected to take part. Egged will be stepping up service to accommodate the women wishing to get to the Kosel at the early hour.
Yated adds that Gedolei Yisrael Shlita are instruction bochrim to avoid the Kosel at the time the women will be there to avoid confrontation and a chilul Hashem, adding such actions only serves the agenda of the WoW.

I don’t understand what this is supposed to accomplish and how.
The more the protest, the more the attention these few crazed woman get. What started out as a handfull of fools, turned out to be a movement.
I don’t know who is the driving force behind these stupid action.
May it be successful.
Faith starts when we don’t understand. If Gedolim say – we do. And if you want to know the answer – ask them. Perhaps they will tell you.
Ummm I wouldn’t talk like that about a machh Reb Shteinman is requesting trequesting to be organized.just like #1 said “I don’t understand ” is a more accurate response, not “stupid” I’m sure there are a lot of things that take place in the world you don’t understand, that doesent make it stupid.during the Bayis sheini there were hidden that thought Yirmiyahu HaNavi was being “stupid”also. (Untill after the churben)
How does this all coordinate, if there will be a big crowd anyway – don’t they still have the mass Nesias Cappaim for Aharon haKohen’s yahrzeit, bo bayom? When does that begin?
haha i was there last month every action starved crazy showed up and it has nothing to do with adhering to gedolei yisroel its about getting the chemicals pumping in the brain
The accomplishing goal is simple, and how to get there is quite easy to understand…
The WoW have a goal: To attract attention, and to change the rules of the Kosel toward the reform movement.
That being the case, the plan is to fill the Kosel area with WOMEN (not men) who are showing that the mass of women don’t believe the rules of the Kosel have to be changed, but rather they are just happy with the role a Jewish woman has in prayer, which is to Daven to Hashem in a respectful, and tznius fasion.
