Western Wall

Family of the Wall

http://blogs.forward.com/

Comedian Sarah Silverman is
known for her outrageous shtick. But her sister, Rabbi Susan Silverman, and
niece, Hallel, have become leading members of the Israeli activist group Women
of the Wall, which fights for women’s rights to pray as they see fit at the
Western Wall.

The Silvermans are well
known for their involvement in the Kotel protests. But Susan Silverman’s
husband, Yosef, is himself an activist for green solar technology in Israel.

Recently, videographer
Harvey Stein travelled with the family to the monthly prayer protests under
threats of violence.

VIDEO: A Day at the Kotel

The
Jewish Forward editor Jane Eisner spent a day at the Western Wall, observing
and documenting the rhythms and flows of the people who visit the Kotel.

The Reform and Conservative Movements in Israel: A
Profile and Attitudes

http://en.idi.org.il/

How Many Reform and
Conservative Jews are there in Israel?

The
first question we examined was “Do you feel that you belong to one of the
denominations of Judaism, and if so, to which one?

The
findings show that 3.2% of respondents see themselves as affiliated with the
Conservative movement, 3.9% affiliate with the Reform movement, 26.5% affiliate
Orthodox, and the rest do not feel that they belong to any denomination (9.7%
said that they did not know or declined to answer the question).

In other
words, Reform and Conservative Jews together constitute 7.1% of the Jewish
Israeli public, and their demographic weight is thus a quarter of that of the
Orthodox community.
