Each generation grew up in a completely different world, from WWII to the Berlin Wall to the rise of social media and AI. How does that shape the way we see politics, work, family, and community?

For generations, the Kotel (Western Wall) has been a place of deep spiritual connection for Jews around the world — a sacred site meant to unite our people in prayer.

But new proposed legislation in Israel could criminalize egalitarian prayer at the Kotel, placing the entire site — including the egalitarian section — under exclusive control of the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate. If passed, Jews who pray in ways that don’t meet ultra-Orthodox standards could face up to seven years in prison.

This isn’t just about one prayer space — it’s about whether Israel will reflect the diversity of the Jewish people, or only one interpretation of Judaism. Today, 85% of the world’s Jewish population could be excluded from meaningful access to one of our holiest sites for lifecycle moments like b’nei mitzvah, conversions, and communal prayer.

Prayer is not a crime.
The Wall is for all of us.
