Two large groups of Jews at diametric odds over the fate of Jewish prayer at the Western Wall gathered at the holy site Monday morning to mark the beginning of the Hebrew month of Av, when tradition holds both the First and Second Temples were destroyed for a roster of reasons, including a lack of unity.<\/p>\n

The Women of the Wall, which pushes for egalitarian prayer rights at the shrine, held its monthly prayer session while nearby, a group of grassroots Liba Center activists bent on protecting what they say is the traditional Jewish character of the site, gathered under the banner of \u201cSafeguarding the Holiness of the Western Wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

For both groups, the focus of the prayer was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s June 25 freeze of a January 2016 cabinet decision calling for a designated pluralistic prayer pavilion in the southern portion of the Western Wall (commonly known as Robinson\u2019s Arch in the Davidson\u2019s Archaeological Park).<\/p>\n

While the Women of the Wall await a scheduled August 31 Supreme Court hearing of a petition of continuance, there are ongoing efforts by Diaspora and liberal Israeli Jewry to restart the plan.<\/p>\n

However, aside from a few Modern Orthodox rabbis and religious thinkers, there is little support on behalf of the Israeli religious public for the pluralistic prayer pavilion.<\/p>\n

Some 2,000 grassroots activists attended a prayer \u2018protest\u2019 organized by Mercaz Liba at the Western Wall on July 24, 2017. (courtesy)
\nA separate protest prayer just a few feet away by grassroots volunteers who are connected to Mercaz Liba drew some 2,000 people, a spokesperson said. Liba, an organization founded in 2013 to protect the Jewish nature of Israel which last week held a conference for some 1,000 Israeli rabbis, is a self-stated non-political organization made up of Israelis from all walks of life, including educators, farmers, and businessmen.<\/p>\n

The group assembled to vocally state their support for the pavilion\u2019s freeze, to ask for the chief rabbinate\u2019s authority over the entire Western Wall site, and to pray for those injured in the recent spate of terrorist attacks, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\nWomen of the Wall said its much smaller group of 118 participants were \u201cattacked verbally, vocally and physically,\u201d while its 118 supporters conducted the Rosh Hodesh Av service. In addition to a near miss of a thrown water bottle, the group claims that masked women and girls \u201cwhistled and shouted to silence WOW voices, spitting and cursing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, groups of men catcalled and shouted slogans to drown out prayer, including, \u201cReform are worse than ISIS.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the extreme vitriol experienced today, WOW Executive Director Lesley Sachs said she is concerned about escalation of violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the amount of incitement, bloodshed at the Wall is only a matter of time, because the people in charge of WOW safety, are eager to get rid of WOW,\u201d said Sachs, alluding to the security forces employed by the Orthodox Western Wall Heritage Foundation, which overseas the Western Wall pavilion.<\/p>\n

\nIt is unclear whether the Liba activists perpetrated the alleged attacks or other protesters at the site. The Women of the Wall are plagued most months by extremist ultra-Orthodox demonstrators who use disturbance tactics during the women\u2019s prayer service.<\/p>\n

According to Liba organizer Hodiya Ben-Tzvi, 22, the prayer today was \u201cnot a protest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t come with an approach of being against [the Women of the Wall], rather as being \u2018pro\u2019 protecting the Western Wall. We didn\u2019t pay attention to them; not one girl even looked at them. We didn\u2019t come to argue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

To draw worshipers, a couple of weeks ago Liba distributed a poster titled, \u201cWho decides on the holiness of the Western Wall?\u201d Clearly a protest, the poster depicts the wisest sages of the modern era \u2014 among them Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef \u2014 as condemning the pavilion, whereas former Supreme Court chiefs Dorit Beinisch and Aharon Barak, alongside outgoing Chief Miriam Naor are depicted alongside text denying the site\u2019s categorization as a synagogue.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cEvery new month the Women of the Wall and the Reform movements desecrate the holiness of the Western Wall and put pressure on the Israeli government to give them standing at the Western Wall and in every religious issue in the state,\u201d reads the poster. \u201cWith divine providence, the cabinet has taken a historic decision to freeze the Western Wall compromise and not to hand over part of the Western Wall to the Reform. Much to our sorrow, the Supreme Court is attempting to change the government decision and to give the Reform movement standing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben-Tzvi told The Times of Israel that while she welcomes every Jew to pray at the Western Wall, it must be done in keeping with Jewish traditions. To Ben-Tzvi and the majority of religious Israelis, this means mainstream Orthodox practices.<\/p>\n

For Ben-Tzvi, who volunteers with Liba and works with youth, the goal of this morning\u2019s prayer was to state clearly that the entire Western Wall \u201cis one, from the north to the south,\u201d she said. Its holiness must be sacrosanct and only \u201cauthentic Jewish\u201d behavior approved by the Israeli chief rabbinate should be allowed, not \u201cnew, bizarre innovations\u201d such as those performed by the Women of the Wall or non-Orthodox Jewry, said Ben-Tzvi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that impetus for Women of the Wall and the Reform movement is not driven from the will to pray or read from the Torah, but to make noise, to get recognition, to get authority and the ability to give ideas to the Israeli government. There is no place for that in this public space,\u201d said Ben-Tzvi. What they do at home, is their own business, of course, she said.<\/p>\n

Build bridges, don\u2019t burn them
\nA minority of religious Israelis are taking a stance in support of their Diaspora brethren, who overwhelmingly support the pluralistic prayer area. High-profile members of the liberal Modern Orthodox Ne\u2019emanei Torah Va\u2019avodah (Believers of Torah and Work) organization, which attempts to promote moderate Orthodoxy in Israel, participated in a brief video released on Monday.<\/p>\n

With Jewish sages teaching that the Second Temple was destroyed over baseless hatred, the month of Av has become a time when Jewish unity takes on an added resonance for some, a point hammered home in the video.<\/p>\n

In the video, Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, a co-founder of the liberal Tzohar rabbinical organization, says he considers the freeze of the pluralistic pavilion \u201ca disastrous defeat, as a huge danger and as a failure to fulfill our primary mission which is first and foremost to safeguard the Jewish people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The American-born Efrat chief Rabbi Shlomo Riskin says, \u201cIt is unthinkable that we deposit the future of Judaism in the sole hands of Orthodoxy, and not with others also.\u201d Social Justice activist Rabbi Benny Lau adds, \u201cWe have to be vigilant to ensure that each and every Jewish man and woman from all Diaspora communities will feel at home at the Western Wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Our Sages note that the city of Jerusalem was not divided up amongst the Tribes\u2019
\nSeveral female Israeli Modern Orthodox leaders were also included in the video. Torah scholar Chana Friedman, who is also an adviser on Jewish law, gave a textual basis for supporting the pluralistic pavilion. \u201cOur Sages note that the city of Jerusalem was not divided up amongst the Tribes, thus it does not belong to any specific tribe or sector but rather to the entire Jewish people \u2013 Israelis, Diaspora Jews, religious people of all streams, and secular Jews.<\/p>\n

\u201cJerusalem belongs to all of us. Although it is the holiest place in the world, and perhaps because it is so holy, we have to know how to give in on demanding the highest level of halakhic observance and standards of holiness in order to enable all Jews to be part of it,\u201d said Friedman.<\/p>\n

In the video Cherlow makes it clear that as Orthodox rabbis and thinkers, he and his cohort \u201chave an uncompromising disagreement with the Reform and Conservative streams on religious issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe group believes, however, that the majority of the next generation of Diaspora Jews will be unaffiliated. \u201cThey won\u2019t even be identified as Reform or Conservative Jews\u201d and over half the Jewish people will have disappeared, said Cherlow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must change our outlook and learn to understand that it is our responsibility and in our interest and we must do a lot in order to rebuild our connections with all sectors of the Jewish people and to ensure its existence in the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But for Liba activist Ben-Tzvi the future is now.<\/p>\n

She demurred when asked whether her group\u2019s prayer protest may contribute to strife between Jews.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to get along with every Jew. I believe in brotherly love,\u201d she said. \u201cAlthough that love doesn\u2019t mean we have to give recognition to an idea we don\u2019t agree with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
