Conservative rabbis protest segregation at Western Wall

By Daphna Berman, Haaretz Correspondent

Two hundred Conservative rabbis from the Rabbinical Assembly (RA) gathered near the Western Wall (The Kotel) in Jerusalem on Tuesday to protest the expansion of the site's gender-segregated prayer sections.

Holding a banner reading "The Wall Belongs to Us All," they demonstrated against a construction project that will extend the men's and women's prayer sections a total of 600 square meters.

"Unilateral actions by those who view the area as their own private domain must not be allowed to stand," Rabbi Andrew Sacks, director of the RA of Israel said. "If we permit actions such as these, we will quickly find ourselves on a slippery slope toward losing our rights at Judaism's most holy site."
