About 2,000 mispallelim davened at the Kosel on Tuesday morning for Rosh Chodesh Kislev.
However, unfortunately, the tefillah was disturbed by a small group of about ten women of the Women of the Wall organization who once again tried to smuggle a Sefer Torah into the Kosel plaza, in violation of the decisions of Israel’s Supreme Court and Attorney-General.
The representatives of the Women of the Wall arrived at Shaar Ha’Ashpot and carried out a protest holding a Sefer Torah until the entrance to the Kosel. Their entrance was blocked by the Kosel Heritage Foundation’s security guards but the women refused to concede and a skirmish broke out at the scene. In their customary manner, the women caused a public disturbance by trying to physically force their way through the security checkpoint, pushing off the ushers and police officers.
“We regret the fact that the entire goal of this group is to cause a provocation without heed to the consequences and harm to the feelings of the public and the kedushah of the Kosel Hamaaravi,” the Kosel Heritage Foundation stated in a press release.

Its actually heartwarming to see how much they love the Torah.
Fish anyone? Someone who says they like fish and eats it, does not really like fish. By eating the fish they show that they love themselves and consume the fish for their own pleasure. So they are saying “I love me and my own enjoyment. The fish give me that.” Those women do not love Torah. They are abusing it to gain their own popularity among whoever listens to their ideas. If they loved the Torah, they would behave respectfully to all of its teachings and faithful teachers. Sorry to see that you, Basesther, are fooled by these impostors.
