The Rosh Hodesh (beginning of the month) Tamuz prayer of the Women of the Wall guarded by the police. Every month the Women of the Wall meet to pray at the women’s section at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and every month the event is attended by violent demonstrations of the ultra-Orthodox. The struggle of the Women of the Wall for the right to pray and read from the Torah at the Wall culminated in a joint discussion of the Knesset’s Interior Committee and the Committee on the Status of Women, and aroused a stormy discussion.
