Haredi men scuffling with Reform, Conservative activists at Western Wall
Dozens of Haredi men are reportedly scuffling with Reform and Conservative activists at the Western Wall plaza.
According to initial reports, police are working to separate the groups.
The liberal Jewish streams are conducting an egalitarian prayer service in the plaza, adjacent to the prayer site after Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar led a group of Haredi protesters earlier this week and placed a mehitza, or separation wall dividing men’s and women’s prayer sections, in the government-established egalitarian plaza.
