Ultra-orthodox Jews harass Women of the Wall during prayer at wall

JERUSALEM, May 10 (UPI) — Three ultra-orthodox Jewish men were arrested Friday during a protest of the Women of the Wall prayer group that was praying at the Western Wall, police said.

Protesters threw garbage, spat and hurled insults at the women and three police officers were slightly injured during the protests, The Jerusalem Post reported.

It was the first time Women of the Wall legally prayed at the wall following a court ruling.

Rabbi Susan Silverman, sister of comedian Sarah Silverman, told the Post haredi men spat on her three daughters, threw coffee at the Women of the Wall activists and that a little girl next to her was struck in the head.

Oshrat Ben Shimshon, a representative of Women of the Wall, told Israel Radio, “Orthodox rabbis have determined that there is no halachik [religious law] barrier to women praying with prayer shawls and tefillin [a set of boxes holding verses from the Torah] and reading from the Torah.”

Natan Sharansky, chairman of The Jewish Agency for Israel, said a long-lasting solution was needed immediately. He said Friday’s clashes at the Western Wall reinforced Israel’s need to allow any Jew, group of Jews or Jewish community to pray at the Western Wall in accordance with their customs.

Over a human barrier of security forces, protesters shouted at the Women of the Wall activists as they held their first monthly service without restrictions following a court ruling that reinterpreted existing laws to allow them to perform their own customs — such as wearing prayer shawls and tefillin — without fear of being arrested.

Sarah joins what CBS news calls “a multitude of celebrities” in a video of the song “Clouds,” as a tribute to the 17 year old singer/songwriter, Zach Sobiech, who is near the end of his life due to a rare form of bone cancer. You could go straight to Sarah’s piece, but to understand the context (and enjoy the uplifting music), click the pic and watch the whole thing. (There’s also another glimpse of Sarah later.) Just another of the many posts that we ought to start tagging “Sarah cares.”
