Women of the Wall

Women of the Wall (hebreiska: נשות הכותל, Neshot HaKotel) är en icke-ortodox,[1] feministisk[2][3][4] israelisk organisation som huvudsakligen består av amerikafödda kvinnor boende i Israel vars mål är att säkra kvinnors rätt att be högt, recitera högt från Torahn och bära religiösa kläder vid Västra muren. Organisationen grundades 1988.
