Reply #30: Women are not excluded [View All]

[Gimel]

So they are restricted to a certain area

If you will look at the web-cam I posted below, you will see that the women's section is adjacent to the men's section. Only the women who are not following Jewish tradition are included in the group you posted about. It is not a rule about women that you are explaining. It is a group of women from the Reform movement, which until recently has not been accepted in Israel.

People from other religions may also enter a pray in the area, as long as they observe the rule of modesty and cover their heads. The controversy of the women who wanted to hold a minyon and prayer service that was not a traditional women's role never prohibited women from praying at the Wall.

You claimed also that rocks were thrown at them. This is false. Rocks were thrown at all Jewish worshippers from the Temple Mount Mosque by Moslems on many occasions in the past few years.

The Temple Mount is actually built over the Jewish holy site, Abraham's alter, which the Moslems claim an exclusive right to.
