5 ministers opposed Western Wall plan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFive ministers voted against the plan to build the non-Orthodox prayer section at the Western Wall: Litzman, Deri, Azoulay, Uri Ariel and Zeev Elkin.
The new platform, where mixed-gender prayer will be allowed, “will blend in” with the look of the entire area, a member of the commitee overseeing the project says. Mixed prayers will be permitted there but the use of music and instruments on Shabbat and Jewish holidays will be forbidden.
