Youth arrested for asking if shooting at Women of the Wall is ?kosher? | The Ugly TruthTimes of Israel
Facing victory after 25 long years The Wall that must not divide us, Non-Orthodox hopeful but wary on rabbinic equality North American federations back Sharansky’s Western Wall plan, Chief rabbis receive death threats over Women of the Wall prayer
A youth from the West Bank was arrested after he inquired on a website whether shooting members of the Women of the Wall while they wear the tallit, or prayer shawl, is permissible according to Jewish law.
Reshet Bet reports that the 17-year-old, who studies at a yeshiva in Jerusalem, was told that violence is absolutely forbidden. The student claims that he never intended to actually harm any members of the organization.
The Women of the Wall, who gather monthly to celebrate Rosh Hodesh (the new moon) in the women’s section of the Western Wall plaza, pray with tefillin (phylacteries), tallit and Torah scrolls, religious items traditionally used only by men. The group says its actions are not in contravention of the halacha (Jewish law).
He wanted others to do the killing?
