Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance: 
We at JOFA are appalled by the police brutality used in the arrest of Anat Hoffman last week at the Western Wall and the violent tactics used to intimidate women at prayer at the kotel. Furthermore, we are deeply concerned about the limits placed on women’s freedom of religious expression in prayer at the Wall, a site that is holy to ALL Jews, women and men.
Thank you for this statement and, particularly, for separately responding to police treatment of suspects and to women’s freedom of religious expression, both of which need attention.
