A man disguised as a woman joined a group known as the "Women of the Wall" during their prayer service at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Monday, causing a disturbance. The group, which regularly gathers at the holy site on the first day of the Hebrew month to pray in a manner that clashes with local customs, reportedly disrupted other worshippers during the Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan service.
Eyewitnesses stated that the man, who was dressed as a woman, was removed from the women's section by police after he incited a commotion. The "Women of the Wall" organization has been a source of significant public and religious controversy for years due to their prayer practices at the egalitarian section of the Western Wall, which they aim to provoke. The group's activities have frequently led to friction with other worshipers at the site, considered the holiest in Judaism.
