JFNA meeting with Netanyahu over Western Wall reversal
Representatives from the Jewish Federations of North America are meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu over yesterday’s cabinet decision to shelve plans for a pluralistic worship area at the Western Wall and the Knesset’s initial approval of a bill that would cement the ultra-Orthodox monopoly on conversions.
The JFNA was central to brokering the 2016 deal guaranteeing a pavilion for non-Orthodox worship at the Western Wall.
