Below the Radar: "Women of the Wall"....................from Dan Friedman

[In Israel there’s a new festering problem. A group of women, mostly American, mostly from the same “Reform” sect that furnishes Obama with a list of fawning “rabbis” whenever he needs one, are now making a frontal assault on Judaism and it’s most sacred site, the Kotel or Western Wall. These women are not content with the Jewish Halacha (law) that’s worked without controversy for both Jewish men and women over countless generations. They want to pray like men at the Wall. Gender-bending meets intentional propagation of religious confusion, the raison d'être of the “Reform.” You might say Israel already has enough existential problems, so why bother with that arcana now? The answer is theirs is a direct strike at the Torah which forbids it, and the Torah is the only thing that has kept the Jews Jewish throughout our turbulent history. Before reform, conservative, or reconstruction were ever fabricated there was only Judaism. Every true Jewish man or woman, secular or religious, owes his existence to an “Orthodox” decision his forbearers made somewhere up the line. As much as we would prefer, this is a problem that’s not going away. The Women of the Wall have gotten their noses under the tent, and the next objective for the unJews is to bring the whole structure down (Heaven Forbid!). df]
