Many...Dear Rabbi Oppenheimer:<br /> <br /> Many thanks for your prompt and interesting reply, which, however, leaves me even more confused than I was before. You say that the Kotel is not an orthodox synagogue and “no one group has exclusive rights to it” and also admit that halachically, “women are technically allowed to wear tallitot and tefillin, according to many sources.” These facts should certainly be completely determinative of the issue.<br /> The primary objection to these women, you say, is their motivation, and that their behavior “offends” the hareidi women who come there to pray. Assuming your interpretation of their motivation is correct, since no one group has exclusive rights to the Kotel, their motivation, however much you disagree with it, is completely irrelevant so long as their behavior is halachically appropriate, which you admit it is. The fact that the majority of hareidi women, or even all of them, choose to be offended by their actions is again completely irrelevant. It is somewhat presumptuous, if not arrogant, to prevent others from exercising their halachically correct right to pray at the Kotel because your feelings may be hurt. If you are offended, either ignore the offensive conduct, get over it or deal with it in a mature manner, which does not include physically preventing another group of Jews from praying at the Kotel.. Perhaps engaging in an educational dialogue about religious observance and religious tolerance would be much more productive to both sides. It is without question better than the shameful conflict that the world is now gleefully watching. Chillul hashem indeed!<br /> <br />Jeff Bernstein ( still farblunjet)<br /><br /><br />farblunjethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775288859300249848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626162062588121300.post-30519021886320237222013-05-19T07:39:26.617-07:002013-05-19T07:39:26.617-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.YLOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13689893295605516727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626162062588121300.post-82622534674919021122013-05-19T07:38:44.550-07:002013-05-19T07:38:44.550-07:00Please see the comment on this article posted sepe...Please see the comment on this article posted seperately, either by clicking on the link at the top, or by going directly to http://libibamizrach.blogspot.com/2013/05/comment-and-response-regarding-women-of.html<br /><br />Please comment, and consider subscribing to this blog.
