Even if they're a bunch of phonies, it's no excuse for spoiling somebody's bat mitzvah
Yet again, Haredis at the Western Wall cause bedlam because the Women of the Wall conducted not only a prayer service, but a bat mitzvah. And to make matters worse, even "national religious" had to back them up, even if they didn't act violent:
Twelve-year-old Hod Hasharon native Noa Brenner celebrated her bat mitzvah at the monthly prayer service of Women of the Wall, a feminist group advocating for egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall holy site.There's more here. Even if it was only one who yelled out "animals" that was disgusting. As usual, I'm convinced those who gave WoW all the attention they doubtless wanted actually want to give Orthodox Judaism a bad name. They have the ability, if they want to, to just ignore the group, and instead, it's clear they do want to embarrass Orthodoxy in the long run, and that's a bad thing.
According to news reports, more than a thousand female yeshiva students were bussed in by Liba, an Orthodox Jewish group which opposes a government plan to create an egalitarian prayer space at the Western Wall.
Some of the girls, who had been pulled out of school for the protest, heckled the prayer service, with one calling the worshippers “animals,” according to Haaretz. Others prayed silently.
