Come listen to Rabbi Allison Cohen give a lecture on Women of the Wall (WOW). WOW is a prayer group whose central mission is to achieve “the social and legal recognition of the right, as women, to wear prayer shawls, pray out loud and read from the Torah collectively at the women’s section of the Western Wall in Jerusalem.” Since 1988, WOW has been a topic of great controversy among Jews representing nearly every denomination and demographic because of its endeavor to pray as a multi-denominational prayer group at the Ultra-Orthodox-led Western Wall. Come learn about this struggle for equal rights and religious pluralism in the land of Israel from our own Rabbi Cohen who was a WOW Intern in 2013.
