		Also, I never felt a connection with the concept that the Kotel was the closest remnant of the Holy Temple - if anything the connection for me was that for hundreds of years other Jews had found it meaningful, so I was going to a place my ancestors had prayed at.
		When I was at the Kotel I dressed the same way I do when I go to our synagogue, a longish skirt, sleeves below by elbows, and a hat, minus the tallit that I do usually wear to Shabbat morning services which is acceptable and even somewhat encouraged at the Conservative synagogue we attend.
		I would never wear something to the Kotel, or in any Orthodox setting, that would be considered inappropriate, but I don't understand why there would be a problem with women praying in unison in the women's section at the Kotel.

		The court, for now, opted not to permit such unnecessary and incendiary disruption of the time-honored and tradition-based manner of prayer in the main Kotel plaza, a place most regularly frequented by Jewish men and women to whom classical tradition is very important.
		Those Kotel regulars know, and are gratified by the fact, that the Kotel is a spiritual magnet for Jews of all denominations and beliefs.

	Orwell at the Kotel - By Asher V. Finn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		What they might ponder, though, as might joyous ramparts-chargers in other contexts, is just what might lie ahead.
		Nothing will prevent a Hebrew Christian group from asserting its own new Jewish "tradition", complete with symbols and chanting, at the Wall that once was a place of deeply Jewish tradition and peace.
		But there can be no denying that it deeply troubles those who gather at the Kotel regularly, often in the thousands, and deeply saddens all Jews who maintain deep-seated and sincere respect for Jewish tradition — the original one.

	Religiosity and the Kotel
		Both the southern wall and the more famous western wall--or Kotel-- were built by King Herod to enlarge the mount on which Judaism's Second Temple stood.
		After Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 CE, the western wall became an object of veneration because of its association with the Temple, even though it was not itself a part of the holy structure.
		In the plaza facing the western wall, on the other hand, previous efforts to hold mixed services have created tense confrontations and some violence with the ultra-Orthodox who assert spiritual guardianship over the site and insist that men pray to the left of a mehitza and women to the right as they face the wall.
