The fight for women's prayer rights in Israel
In 1988, a group of Jewish feminists demanded the right to pray as freely as Jewish men at one of Judaism鈥檚 holiest sites. They called themselves the 鈥榃omen of the Wall鈥�. The organisation says it is made up of every Jewish denomination including Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jews. Its focus is one of the holiest sites in Judaism - the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
Anat Hoffman, a founding member of 'Women of the Wall', spoke to Witness History about their struggle.
