“Women, the Kotel and the Fight for Religious Equality in Israel”

Rabbi Sara Sapadin’s new essay in the Forward reflects on Women of the Wall, the ongoing fight for religious equality in Israel, and a historic step toward women’s rabbinic leadership through the Israeli Chief Rabbinate’s exams. She writes about what it means to pray at the Kotel as a woman, a Reform rabbi, and a Jew committed to a more inclusive vision of Jewish life.
