G-d forbid ANY legislation regarding reality and Torah is in their hands. Moshiach should come now and get rid of that evil institution.

The gatherings at the Wall, near as I can tell, are only “political” in the sense that their opponents make them out to be. If their actions were *only* through the legislative & judicial system, then their argument about wanting to pray at the Kotel would ring a bit hollow.

I’m pretty sure the Orthodox don’t want to limit her religious expression, they just don’t want a minority, non traditional service taking place in one of Judaism’s holiest sites when it could take place elsewhere, or are you suggesting that prayer at the Kotel is absolutely essential for one’s religious expression ?
Ronit, I would be wary of leaving this matter to the Supreme Court ( the institution that really runs Israel ). I believe that the administration of the Kotel should be in the hands of the Orthodox. After all, if I’m not mistaken, up until about 200 years ago all Jews were Orthodox whether they practiced Judaism or not.

False, MP. I don’t want to ban Reform from Israel. I just think the fight to change how the law relates to Judaism, etc… is something that belongs in the houses of law- the Knesset and Supreme Court, not in the Kotel, Judaism’s most holy place today.

You don’t want WoW to bring Reform to Israel and she doesn’t want the Orthodox to limit her religious expression. Stop pretending you are different.

There is total freedom of religion in Israel. Christians, Muslims, Buddists, Bahais, whatevers, all worship in their own ways with complete freedom and tolerance.
