The Western Wall is not the property of one stream, one sector, or one interpretation of Judaism.
It is the beating heart of the entire Jewish people – in Israel and in the Diaspora; religious and secular; Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and traditional.
And yet, for many years, the holiest site for the Jewish people has effectively been administered as a separatist ultra-Orthodox courtyard, one that does not grant equal expression to women and does not recognize the legitimacy of other Jewish streams.
