A group known as "Nשות הפרובוקציה" (Women of Provocation) disrupted the main prayer service for Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan at the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem on Monday. The group arrived to create a provocation, with their activities interfering with thousands of other worshippers. Among the provocateurs was a man disguised as a woman, who was identified and removed from the women's section by police.
The "Women of Provocation" regularly attend the Western Wall on Rosh Chodesh, engaging in prayer practices that clash with the site's customs and established order. This has been a source of public and religious controversy for years. A key point of contention has been the group's attempts to bring Torah scrolls into the plaza, which requires approval from the site's administration.
This latest incident adds to the ongoing dispute surrounding monthly prayers at the Western Wall, highlighting the persistent tensions related to the group's activities and prayer arrangements at the holy site.
