Anat Hoffman, who is often the most public face of Women of the Wall (Nashot HaKotel) was arrested this morning during
WoW's Rosh Hodesh Av service.
Shalom Chevre,
I wanted to share this article in Jewschool about Anat Hoffman being arrested this morning for holding a Torah at the Wall. She was there with Women of the Wall for davening for Rosh Chodesh Av. Several friends of mine from RRC were there as well. This blog presents an accurate account of what went down there. If you are on facebook, you can see some pictures on the page of the "Women of the Wall Nashot HaKotel."
The blog entry ends with the very words that I had just typed to a friend of mine. Today, Rosh Chodesh Av, begins a 9 day period of semi mourning before enter a day of fasting and mourning for the destruction of the Temple over Sinat Chinam - baseless hatred. Have we learned nothing??
May me all go into these 9 days with open eyes and open hearts.
