Planning for Tuesday Morning at the Kotel

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
For the first time the Haredim are gearing up in advance to prepare for the monthly fight against the Women of the Wall. Every month, recently, on Rosh Chodesh, the Women of the Wall have organized and come as a group to the Kotel to daven in their own minyan, wearing tallis (mens versions and womens versions, as per the police description) and singing aloud.
Until now, WoW would show up on Rosh Chodesh, do their thing, and the Haredim present at the time would scream and protest them, and the police would come, separate the sides, and make some arrests. Even more recently the police have been preemptively arresting women as they enter the Kotel area if they are spotted with a tallis or if they are identified as being part of the group.
But now, the Haredim are preparing in advance and trying to rally the troops. The pashkevil below has been posted around Jerusalem. It calls on "anybody to whom is important the place the shechina has never left" to come to thee Kotel on Rosh Chodesh at 7 AM and protest the desecration of the holy place.
