]]> Comment on Phyllis Chesler Seconds Women For the Wall by Reva Rubenstein https://womenforthewall.org/2014/02/phyllis-chesler-seconds-women-for-the-wall/#comment-456631 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 17:19:13 +0000 http://womenforthewall.org/?p=785#comment-456631 I’d like to publish a book called “MY VIEW”
The cover would be a view of a shul from behind a mechitza where we stand
proudly
(double entendre on My View)
and the book would be our counter-protest to the WOW who are playing
politics with Tefila and tearing apart our nation.

I am looking for thoughtful, personal pieces written by men or women about:

The Jewish woman’s voice in Tefila
Pride/Non-resentment about the woman’s role
Appreciating Tefila as a wife, mother, grandmother
What a mechitza means to you
How not being included in a minyan doesn’t ruin your day
First hand reports of WOW protests (I call them protests and not prayer
ceremonies)
and in general anything that justifies the Orthodox position.

Halachic basis (anyone?), stories, poetry, photos from davening at the
kosel, or in your own shul, or personal pieces would also be of great value
to strengthen Tefila b’tzibur.

If you’d like to have your voice included in the book (in exchange for a
free copy), please send your thoughts to BookClub613@gmail.com

Thank you in advance for helping my dream become a reality,
Reva Rubenstein

I support what you do. I have seen the effects on mixed marriages and liberalism in Jews. It is not good.

Very good point, Joel Nowicki. It’s been three years since you made it … I’d like to ask W4W to expand on the FAQ as you suggest!

]]> Comment on Birkat Kohanot? Priestess’ blessing at the Wall? by Elisheva H. Flink,M.D https://womenforthewall.org/2016/05/birkat-kohanot-priestess-blessing-at-the-wall/#comment-450972 Mon, 02 May 2016 18:45:38 +0000 http://womenforthewall.org/?p=866#comment-450972 Ms. Stern you are SO RIGHT! The WOW Neo-Hellenists need to be liberated, and be and act like proud JEWISH WOMEN, not men! What would be the equivalent of “Oreos” in this case-women who think the only way to do things and serve H’ is the male way?

]]> Comment on One People One Kotel by Elisheva H.Flink,M.D. https://womenforthewall.org/2016/03/one_people_one_kotel/#comment-450143 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 09:44:26 +0000 http://womenforthewall.org/?p=861#comment-450143 Unfortunately ,it can no longer be “One People,One Kotel”,as the Hellenist movements are insisting on violating Halacha and tradition.Their hatred for both and Jews who do observe Torah is so apparent.Even the last performance at the women’s section a couple of weeks ago,they positioned themselves right next to the mens’ section to provoke as much as possible.They are the new Hellenists full of American far-leftist values that are not Torah values.

]]> Comment on A Monument to Discord by Elisheva Flink https://womenforthewall.org/2016/02/a-monument-to-discord/#comment-450030 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:24:53 +0000 http://womenforthewall.org/?p=856#comment-450030 It’s like I explain to my non-frum friends if you want to hold a simcha for all jews- do you serve nonkosher McDonalds cheeseburgers or mehadrin food?The Kotel is holy because the Sages (the very Rabbis the reform and WOW distain ) have declared it so as The holiest area outside the actual Temple Mount. All jewish women can pray with tear soaked kavanah and thankful joy at the Kotel quietly without disturbing the prayers of others as it is now without the need for politicization of such a holy place!
Why are the Muslims and Christians allowed to maintain the status quo of their holy places but the Supreme court in Israel -which doesn’t represent the Israeli population can change Jewish religious sites and practices by fiat ?

We should respect the rules of the Kotel and pray peacefully together

]]> Comment on Guitars at the Kotel on Shabbat? by Elisheva H.Flink,M.D. https://womenforthewall.org/2015/06/guitars-at-the-kotel-on-shabbat/#comment-405857 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 00:26:01 +0000 http://womenforthewall.org/?p=845#comment-405857 As was exposed last year,WOW isn’t even about feminism and identity -it’s anti-Israel,anti-religious leaders are all about provoking the religious and trying to defame Israel.They manage to fool a lot of naïve women ,especially American ,with their buzzwords of “freedom of religion and expression “but like many Middle Eastern organizations their name and stated goals are not the real reality!
