Egalitarian and non-Orthodox prayer[modifier | modifier le code]
Le conflit débute en juillet 1968 lorsque des membres de l'Union Mondiale pour le Judaïsme Progressiste, soutenant que « le Mur est un lieu de pèlerinage pour tous les Juifs, pas pour une branche particulière du judaïsme », se voient refuser le droit de pratiquer un service mixte[1].
While during the late 19th century, no formal segregation of men and women was to be found at the Wall,[2] conflict erupted in July 1968 when members of the World Union for Progressive Judaism were denied the right to host a mixed-gender service at the site after the Ministry of Religious Affairs insisted on maintaining the gender segregation customary at Orthodox places of worship. The progressives responded by claiming that "the Wall is a shrine of all Jews, not one particular branch of Judaism."[1] In 1988, the small but vocal Women of the Wall launched a campaign for recognition of non-Orthodox prayer at the Wall.[3][4] Their form and manner of prayer elicited a violent response from some Orthodox worshippers and they were subsequently banned from holding services at the site. In response to the repeated arrest of women, including Anat Hoffman found flouting the law, the Jewish Agency observed 'the urgent need to reach a permanent solution and make the Western Wall once again a symbol of unity among the Jewish people, and not one of discord and strife."[5][6] Some commentators called for the closure of the site unless an acceptable solution to the controversy was found.[7] In 2003 Israel's Supreme Court upheld the ban on non-Orthodox worship at the Wall and the government responded by allocating Robinson's Arch for such purposes.[8] But in 2012, critics still complained about the restrictions at the Western Wall, saying Israel had "turned a national monument into an ultra-Orthodox synagogue,"[9] and in April 2013 the Jerusalem District Court ruled that as long as there was no other appropriate area for pluralistic prayer, prayer according to non-Orthodox custom should be allowed at the Wall.[6] This led to the expansion and renovation of the Robinson's Arch prayer area[10] which would be placed under the authority of a Pluralist Council.[11] In August 2013, a platform named "Azarat Yisrael Plaza" was completed to facilitate non-Orthodox worship.[12][13]

Jewish Spectator, 1997. p.3: "There is no quick or easily acceptable way to change this sorry situation, so the blighted thing probably ought to be torn down before its continued presence leads to the irreparable splitting of the Jews and perhaps even civil war and the end of the state of Israel."
