Addressing Jewish leaders from around the world at the Jewish Agency’s Board of Governor’s meeting in Jerusalem, Gantz said, “When I will be the prime minister of Israel, I will embrace all streams of Judaism. We are part of an inspiringly colorful mosaic of cultures and traditions. I will nurture this pluralism.”
As part of that effort, Gantz said, “I will promote the implementation of the Western Wall agreement,” referring to a 2016 plan to create a mixed-gender prayer section at the Western Wall which was scuttled by the ultra-Orthodox parties.
“Every time I go to the Western Wall, I look at the sea of stones, the different sizes and shapes, like the streams we have in Judaism,” Gantz said. “I’m telling you today, the Western Wall is long enough for all.”
While there are many streams of Judaism in Israel today, the official governmental application of Judaism is Orthodox, including pertaining to issues of conversion, marriage and other religious practices.
Hashem help us! Hashem save us! We need Bibi back. Please send Messiach we can’t take this from israel!
Good, Israel should be for all Jews not just the Charedi or Chassidim.
If he changes the law of wh0 is Yid than Israel as a Jewish medina is finished
Mixed gender prayer group at the Kotel will get harassed like crazy. Police are not going to stop the Orthodox from disrupting the group and chasing away the members.
They need secular divorces.
