Kabbalistic Sephirat HaOmer day 30
GEVURAH sh b'HOD
WOMEN PRAY
Women worshipers score legal victory. Jerusalem court holds that women praying out loud in prayer shawls do not disturb the public order.
After almost 25 years that Women of the Wall have been struggling for the right to pray at the Kotel / Western Wall in prayer garments, and have been arrested, and finally today in Gevurah sh b'Hod, 15 Iyar, Thursday, April 25, 2013, it is announced that women worshipers scored legal victory.
The Women of the Wall's great strength, persevering in limited prayer sites, and with great Gevurah, judgement, abuse and violence against them, and in endurance to pray in Hod, Gratitude, Devotion and Splendor, have been acknowledged in the Israeli court system following a Jerusalem District Court ruling handed down today. Women may pray with prayer shawls and phylacteries.
BlesSings for justice, harmony, healing, egalitarian prayer, shalom, health, wholeness, revealed miracles, creativity, discovery, wonder, love and joy,

Joy Krauthammer and daughter Aviva wrapped in their prayer garments
filled with hand-woven ribbons based on colors of Sephirot and Days of Creation,
according to Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
Designed and tied by Joy Krauthammer, and ribbons woven with love by Ruth Zitch.
The talleisim are created and photographed and organized
in energy of Gevurah sh b'Hod.
During closing ceremony of Lev Eisha women at Wagner Women retreat, held at Brandeis-Bardin in Simi Valley, CA, participants brought their talleisim to me to photograph.
Here is the collage of women's prayer shawls, now a cover photo on Lev Eisha website.
Talleisim have been created in Hiddur Mitzvah/beautification of ritual.
These talleisim have been hand-made by wearers, commissioned and/or purchased from artists or at museums and shuls.
Two of mine are on middle and far lower left (ribbon woven, and ribbon embellished), and also 3rd from left on bottom
(painted Tree of Life).
