Western Wall Prayer Controversy
9UITE A controversy has been
aroused by the denial of per-
ission to delegates of a Liberal
udai-m organization meeting in
erusalem to hold the customary
tllgious service at the Western
"all. with the men and women
raying together.
The Liberal or Reform Jews
may come to the Temple Wall with their women
folk but if they want to hold regular religious serv-
ice, they must do so in separate sections.
A member of the Israeli cabinet recalled an old
American Jewish joke about the policeman in front
of the synagogue on Yom Kippur who stopped a
man who had no ticket. "You can't enter." the po-
liceman said. But I just want to see a triend for a
moment." the man replied. "All right." said the
policeman, "but if 1 catch you praying. I'll put the
handcufl- on you."
Israel has perhaps gone further than any other
countrj in giving women lull equality She has had
a woman Minister of Foreign Affair- In Israel, the
women are drafted along with the men for milil
service. Yet there are some unbridgeable iln
ences that mutt in some way- always segregate
sexes. While Israeli girls are drafted for the ar
and taught to shoot, they are not employed in 
combat forces.
To the Orthodox Jew. prayer was not simp! a
mumbling of words. Prayer required whole -sou
concentration, "with all one's heart, all of one's si
all of one's mind." a kind of "turning on" to use i
modern phrase, in which everything but the Dr
w.i- excluded.
Liberal Jews are inclined to do much less |
ing than the Orthodox and one does not wish to
courage themOH the contrary, one would like t
everything possible to encourage them in that dii
tion. However, they do have alternatives. The)
pray separately from their wi\es or they can pi .
privately. Praying is a form of study, basici
-earching out for the Highest, and there is notl
better for study than solitude.
