The Kotel Belongs to the Jewish People • Statement on the Proposed Bill Regarding the Egalitarian Kotel
"At decisive moments for the spiritual and democratic character of the State of Israel, silence is not an option. This legislation compels us to ask what kind of Jewish state we seek to build. Israel was established as the national home of the entire Jewish people. It cannot become a state in which only one interpretation of Judaism enjoys official legitimacy."
