mixed davening at the Kotel
The Netanyahus, PM Benjamin and Sara, went to the Kotel last night prior to the start of the elections to offer a prayer for victory and success.
The note the Prime Minister put in the wall, though I do not know who took it out of the wall to publicize its contents, expressed his wish for bringing a good government to the Israeli people, to Eretz Yisrael and to the State of Israel. The note Sara placed in the wall expressed her wish for a Likud victory to protect the Jewish nation and the State of Israel, and for her husband's victory for the future of our children in Eretz Yisrael.
Interestingly, and in an unusual move, the two went to pray together at the Kotel, with no gender separation, both on the men's side of the Kotel. What happened to the traditional custom of the Kotel requiring gender segregation? How did Rav Rabinovitz, rav of the Kotel, allow this? hmmmm

No special exceptions made by Rav Rabinowitz here. They're standing at the spot inside the Kotel tunnels that's described as opposite the קדש הקדשים, not in the main prayer area with a mechitza. (The arch over their heads was the first hint, but if you look up other pictures of that spot you can see that the gaps in the stones match exactly.)
ReplyDeleteThe night before the last election day a few months ago they went to the main prayer area, and he went to the men's section and she to the women's section.
