During the Women of the Wall’s last prayer session in March, a dozen police stood between them and the men’s section of the Western Wall, in an effort to keep the peace. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, opposed to non-traditional prayer at the Wall, tried, unsuccessfully, to drown out the WOW worshippers. RNS photo by Michele Chabin
