It was at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem that I first made my stand. “No!” I would not enter the women’s section to stand by the Wailing Wall.

A few months ago a group of women have lodged their protests. “They have held monthly prayer sessions there, have endured arrests, heckling and legal battles in a struggle to attain what they consider their inalienable right- praying and worshipping at the Western Wall as men do.” (Houston Chronicle 4-11-2013).

It is time that we take the lead of our Jewish sisters and tell the world that we, too, have an inalienable right – that of being equal in church and in home with men.

Will you join me at the Wailing Wall?
