The topic of women praying at the Western Wall has been an ongoing debate not only among ultra-Orthodox Jews and feminists, but now the Women of the Wall (WOW) are they are dividing on the question of where to pray at the wall. Although the group celebrated its 25th anniversary on November 4, 2013, it is at this time in the group's history that they are most divided. In his article, "Women of the Wall Deeply Divided on Accepting Anat Hoffman's Prayer Agreement," Nathan Jeffay discusses the problems WOW is currently facing both internally and externally. In October 2013, WOW decided to move its demonstrations from the prayer gallery of the Women's Kotel to a quieter piece of the wall known as Robinson's Arch. The group denies accusations that the move was due to anti-WOW demonstrations ultra-Orthodox events held in the past in the Kotel section. The decision to relocate was approved by the WOW board with a majority of 9-2. While this report shows that the majority of the group supports the decision to move, there are many women who are devastated by this decision. Twenty-one WOW founders have signed a petition saying they will continue to fight for the ability to pray in Kotel Square because for many of these women, Robinson's Arch is simply a second-rate site. The organization's decision was made in the midst of the Israeli government's negotiations on the creation of an egalitarian section of the wall. The group was asked to be involved in the planning process for these negotiations; however, in exchange for their involvement, they must agree to stop wearing prayer shawls and reading the Torah in the women's section of the Kotel. So now the problem for the group is this: If it can't keep its rebels from continuing to pray at Kotel, it could... middle of paper... the wall. Progressive women and laws allowing these women to pray at the wall would signal a shift in political demographics. Ultra-Orthodox control would slowly begin to fade. This could be extremely terrifying for a group that is known to consider other forms of Judaism invalid. For ultra-Orthodox Jews, this would mean that individuals who are not actually Jews would have control over Jerusalem. The topic of women praying at the Western Wall has been an ongoing debate not only among ultra-Orthodox Jews and feminists, but now among the Women of Jerusalem. the Walls (WOW) are divided on the question of where to pray at the wall. It is at this moment in the group's history that they are the most divided. The group is discovering how they, as women, can achieve equality with Jewish women and can experience the same closeness to God and tradition that has long eluded them..
