Schedule of Services

Let me begin by saying that on April 8, at 7:30 pm, Lesley Friday, April 1 Sachs, Director of will speak at our Erev 6:15 p.m. Chadash Shabbat Shabbat Service. We are truly blessed to have her join us and thank Dinner you to the Temple Brotherhood and Sisterhood, and our own 7:00 p.m. Chadash Shabbat congregation for sponsoring her. Service Last month I wrote to you about Nashot HaKotel—Women of the Wall. They had won a great victory in getting the Israeli Knesset Friday, April 8 to vote affirmatively on a bill that would dedicate the portion of the 7:30 p.m. Erev Shabbat Service area known as Robinson’s Arch for an egalitarian Sandy Adland is singing prayer space. Since then there have been three significant responses to this hard won victory: the Haredi head of the Kotel Friday, April 15 Plaza, archeologists, and a splinter group of the Women of the Wall. 7:30 p.m. Erev Shabbat Service Just recently, Rabbi Rabinowitz, the ultra-Orthodox Haredi Shelley Schweitzer is singing head of the Kotel Plaza area has now dialed back any support for the egalitarian space. Where many Orthodox Jewish leaders were okay Friday, April 29 with this new space, which is south of the current traditional area, 7:30 p.m. Erev Shabbat Service Rabbi Rabinowitz is not. He would rather see the fight continue then Shelley Schweitzer is singing allow for a positive compromise. Other Orthodox leaders believe that moving the Reform/Conservative population away from the traditional Stollen Moments site would diminish the tension and allow those who wish to pray as Saturday, April 2, 9, and 30 “Jews” be done without confrontation. Despite the fact that there is 9:30 a.m. Stollen Moments no tradition for the separation of men and women at the Kotel or any 11:15 a.m. Morning Service prohibition traditionally from women praying together there, this new

Haredi leadership continues to do everything it can to promote separation and embrace control. NO Stollen Moments April 16 10:30 a.m. Matthew Garfinkle Bar Archeologists in Israel spoke about a different issue on the Mitzvah same problem. The area being considered for this egalitarian space (and, fyi, something is already constructed there, but it isn’t practical for larger groups) is the southwestern part of the wall and on the other side of the ramp leading up to the former temple mount. Archeologists wrote a scathing letter that anything done in this area If you would like a tax statement near Robinson’s Arch would destroy the integrity of the space. They for 2015 please call the Temple may be right, but I say this without seeing any plans. This area holds office and we will be happy to some important history for the Jewish people and if the sightline is send one to you. We send them blocked or degraded by any construction, it may hurt the site. I haven’t heard much more about the archeologists’ letter, but I am out when requested! sure it hasn’t been thrown away. Finally, when Women of the Wall began 27 years ago it Temple Israel has changed its wasn’t only made up of liberal Jews. There were many Orthodox email address to women who were a part of the founding of the group who were [email protected] fighting for the right to be observant women at the wall. Please change in your address books. (Continued on Page 2) TEMPLE BULLETIN April 2016 Adar II/Nisan 5776

(Continued from Page 1) They wanted to pray and sing and read Torah at this holy place. The Orthodox leadership of the Kotel forbade all of this to them. They have never backed down from their original demands TEMPLE ISRAEL and are not interested in moving to Robinson’s Arch. They view 432 - 30th Street NW the compromises accepted by the rest of Women of the Wall as Canton, OH 44709 sidestepping the original demands and accepting much less.
