The Women of the Wall continue their unbridled assault on Yiddishkeit and traditional Judaism as we know it with a new provocation: After appealing to the Supreme Court to allow them to bring a Sefer Torah to the Kosel, the Women of the Wall have announced on social networks and websites that they will institute Birchos Kohanos – that is, Priestly Blessings for Women – at the Kosel on the first day of Pesach.
A statement issued by the women on Facebook states that on “the first day of Pesach, April 24, the women will gather for the blessing ceremony at the Kosel, the first to be held by women, serving as the equivalent of the traditional ritual practiced in many Jewish circles, when men who come from a family of kohanim bless the crowd, lifting their hands up to say the blessing, with hands outstretched towards the public.”
Unfortunately, the chillul Hashem perpetrated by these women seems to grow with each passing day.
May Hashem have mercy on them and guide them to the proper path of Torah, with full adherence to halacha.

I once heard rabbi Reisman shlita comment about these women that if they are so dedicated why don’t their husbands put on tallis and tefillin?
LOL.
When they daven, do make a brocha “Shelo asani ish”?
No doubt they are going overboard on the practice of AD LOYADAH
Stop worrying about a few woman at the Kosel who want to pray. We have much bigger issues.
I’ll leave big issues to you and we’ll worry about the small issues
They will stop at nothing to gain attention. I say let them do whatever they want and just ignore them – they’ll go away.
Send these women to Nazeret to pray/play with their own kind, the Goyim and other assorted shkutzim and shiktzes. Feh.. Disgusting.
Idiots don’t even know when the first day of Pesach is. Its not on April 24.
for maysis umadiach theres no mercy…that’s what they are. for them the torah says ‘losachmol , vlo sekase alof
Hashem yeracheim. These women are an insult to Jewish women everywhere. Our job is to raise our children to be yorei Shamayim and to instill in them a love for Torah and mitzvos, emuna, bitachon and midos tovos. Our job is not to be men.
they’re not jewish women as most reform are from non jewish mothers…the klall which they decided to ditch with the rest of torah
Rav Avi Weiss is fine with women duchaning.
hes fie with anything you feel confort with
Jewish Stagnation.
The Women of the Wall are the new era of a poor reform of hate.
They will not be our careful prayers. We can just daven for a return to Davidic Reign and the reestablishment of our Judges. They are so poor that even davening against the wicked says that they are the problem of the men that they married.
Scary.
This is a shame.
an you please repost in plain old fashioned english. so little guys like me understand
Chaimz what makes you think their husbands don’t wear a Tallis or Tefilin?
