Dear Friends, On the Knesset agenda this week: The Ministerial Committee for Legislation will discuss two bills: A bill submitted by Yisrael Beitenu proposing the establishment of a Dialogue Center which will serve to bridge the divide between Israel and the Diaspora;
The Egalitarian Prayer Space at the Western Wall – In an about face, MK Miri Regev (Likud), Minister of Culture and Sport, announced on Wednesday: The demands of the Reform {and Conservative} movement to turn the Western Wall into a place where women and men pray together, is unacceptable to me and to Jewish tradition.” In 2013 MK Miri Regev had said: “We have to prepare a place where there will be mixed prayer, where everyone can pray according to his custom.” |
