If you are Jewish and interested in what happens in the Jewish world, you must have heard that two weeks ago a woman – Nofrat Frenkel – was arrested for wearing a tallit at the Kotel.
Although I don’t wear a tallit myself, I know some women who do and have read a few things on the topic. Thus, two weeks after the event, I have chosen to post a few links on this issue; feel free to comment and/or provide more links.
– Tallit, a piece of writing by Rabbi Louis Jacobs
– The Road to Wearing a Tallit: Why an Orthodox Woman Wears a Tallit, found on JOFA’s website
– Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld, the spiritual leader of Ohev Sholom National Synagogue in Washington, D.C. devoted last week’s Dvar Torah to Women and Tallit from a halakhic point of view; well worth reading

Is there a reason I can’t see the image?
My response to the topic – sigh. Jews cannot seem to get along.
Strange, because I can see it.
I can see it now. Must have been a connection or server problem earlier.
Love the blue of the curtain in the background.
Lovely photograph…many emotions are evoked within the visual.
I will check the links out…thanks for them.
Thank you Lorri. I took this photo in an empty synagogue in the middle of the week last May.
It is a stunning and beautiful image.
Shabbat Shalom!
Leora: Yesterday just after I had posted my Window Views photos, all the photos on my blog disappeared and then came back less than five minutes later. I have no idea what happened.
