Liberal Jewish Women Pray At Western Wall
Liberal Jewish Women Pray At Western Wall
Liberal Jewish women from the religious group Women Of The Wall wear prayer shawls, yarmulkes and tefillin during the morning prayer service at the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, in the Old City of Jerusalem, February 27, 2017. Israeli police separated Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men and women who were protesting the liberal women's prayer wearing Jewish religious objects that are traditionally only worn by men. The control of the Western Wall by Ultra-Orthodox Jews has become a point of conflict between reform and conservative Jews in America and the Israeli Government. Photo by Debbie Hill/UPI
