“The last thing that WOW desires is for quiet, undisturbed prayer without media attention. On the contrary, their agenda is the disturbance of the prayer of others, and it is high time that the rights of the true victims be respected.”

Women for the Wall founder Leah Aharoni met with 40 young female leaders recently and they named the Western Wall as a major area of concern. “They were very disturbed,” she said. “That is their spiritual home.”
