Israeli court: Stop detaining women at the Western Wall

A court in Israel has  instructed the police to stop arresting women who are praying at the Western Wall. Traditionally women and men are supposed to pay separately, but liberal women groups are moving to get mixed gender prayer. Women were being arrested for trying to pray in the men sections in support of the mixed gender prayer. The Orthodox Rabbi opposes this, but the Prime Minister has shown support to start to make a new plan in favor of mixed gender prayer.
