Traditional Jewish prayer - minyanim of men wearing tallitot, tefillot and kippot - has been performed at the Wall continually for at least 2500 years, if we assume that wall was only part of the Second Temple.

These feminist mockers have been engaging in this charade for 25 years, on and off.

The argument that consists of: "We highly respect all the external trappings of tradition - texts, garments, rites, gestures - but we want to use them in a way contrary to the entire history of that tradition" is nonsensical.

This article is ultra-Orthodox propaganda. They are anti-democratic, draft dodge the army en masse, are no longer wanted in the government, massively unpopular among the general population, and all these women request are their basic rights as citizens, which they are entitled to.
