Dunash: April 2010
http://dunash.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. The current state of affairs is very touchy at best. Jews (including outwardly religious Jews) are allowed up Har HaBayit, but are not allowed to pray. One man was even arrested. Last December for allegedly doing so. There are other stories about rabbis being allowed to pray in special. With his entire security detail, providing one of the sparks for the 2nd Intifada. So how does a religious Jew go about an aliyah. For women, it gets more complicated. In short, women should not be...

Asking, Demanding, Interpreting, Understanding. December 18, 2009. At 3:40 pm by Megan. I set my alarm to wake me up at 5:20 this morning, so I could catch a ride with a friend up to join Women of the Wall. In prayer for Rosh Hodesh, the first day of the new month of Tevet. We made our way to the Kotel in the pouring rain, and as we approached the plaza I could hear male voices shouting, but I couldn’t make out the words. I found out later that they were shouting, “Gevalt, gevalt! The rain kept falling, ...

Jerusalem of Gold(stein): December 2009
http://jerusalemofgoldstein.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

It was so understated that one could practically have missed it. “ That. Does it have to be all or nothing? It’s like Israel has gone the other way: since we don’t have Christmas (except in the Old City) let’s not have Chanukah either? But there were lots of sufganiot in all the bakery windows for a full month before Chanukah! To be ab...

Jerusalem of Gold(stein): Free Jerusalem
http://jerusalemofgoldstein.blogspot.com/2009/12/free-jerusalem.html
By Rabbi Elyse Goldstein. Tuesday, December 1, 2009. We debated: after all, the Kotel has been designated as an Orthodox synagogue rather than as a historical site (this after a 20 year battle from Women of the Wall. To be able to read from a Torah on the women’s side) and those who enter an Orthodox site should abide by the rules of that community. On the other hand, since when is the Kotel a synagogue?
