“What happened to me at the Kotel may be the future for every not ultra-Orthodox Jew in Israel… We must fight for Israel’s Jewish, democratic, and liberal character so it can continue being a home for every Jew.”

Hundreds of Masorti/Conservative leaders from around the world joined this MERCAZ Emergency Zoom meeting with Tammy Gottlieb, Director of MAROM, Vice Chairwoman of Women of the Wall, and a WZO Executive Board Member representing MERCAZ.

She discussed her arrest at Women of the Wall’s Rosh Hodesh Adar tefilla, and the dangers posed by the Maoz-Levin legislation before the Knesset that threatens to drive our communities away from the Kotel.
