Women of the Wall (Hebrew: נשות הכותל, Neshot HaKotel) is an organization of women based in Israel whose goal is to secure the rights of women to pray aloud, read from the Torah and wear religious garments at the Western Wall. The group holds monthly prayer services for women on Rosh Hodesh. The service includes singing and Torah reading, with some of the women wearing a tallit and kippah, which traditionally are considered male attire. These actions have upset members of the Orthodox Jewish community, sparking protests and arrests.

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or wall:
“... women can never do efficient and general service in hospitals until their dress is prescribed by laws inexorable as those of the Medes and Persians. Then, that dress should be entirely destitute of steel, starch, whale-bone, flounces, and ornaments of all descriptions; should rest on the shoulders, have a skirt from the waist to the ankle, and a waist which leaves room for breathing.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“The poisoned rat in the wall
Cuts through the wall like a knife,
Then blind, drying, and small
And driven to cold water,
Dies of the water of life....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
