Gantz promises area for mixed-gender prayer at Western Wall
(Worthy News) - The man who is trying to become Israel's next prime minister says he would implement a long-stalled plan for an egalitarian section at the Western Wall in Jerusalem if he takes power.
Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz told a gathering of overseas Jewish leaders Tuesday that "the Western Wall is long enough for all" and should accommodate all streams of Judaism.
The Western Wall currently has separate sections for men and women, in adherence with Orthodox custom. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More...) ]
