    Beth Emet Members Supporting
    Women of the Wall
    Despite the cold and rain on Friday, May 10, more than 60 Chicago-area women and men (a dozen from Beth Emet) gathered outside of Daley Center for a early morning prayer service in support of the Women of the Wall. Many wore their talitot, kipot and teffilin with the hope that similar services can be held at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
