Western Wall Plans Stirring Controversy at Knesset
The leadership of the Ultra-Orthodox (haredi) factions in the Knesset, Shas and United Torah Judaism, issued a joint statement on Thursday demanding that the government repeal a decision to allow for a section of the Western Wall to be set aside for co-ed groups and non-traditional streams of Judiasm to pray, adding that if this is not done, they will introduce a law making it illegal for non-Orthodox prayers to take place there.
