In this study, I focus on the Ladies Guild Collection, an artwork bythe British Jewish Orthodox artist Jacqueline Nicholls. Created in2009-2012, the collection underscores the marginal place of womenin the synagogue and in the canonical Jewish literature and its linkto other forms of women’s marginalization in contemporary culture.In particular, it attributes a major role to the present-day struggle of‘Women of the Wall’ (WoW), a Jewish feminist organization whosegoal is to ensure the equal rights of women to pray in the WesternWall plaza. Nicholls’ collection highlights the way in which theorganization and its goals became popular within Jewish feministcircles and suggests a connection between this specific community’sstruggle and the political issue of gender segregation at the WesternWall. I trace the historic transition of the Western Wall from a holysite under the Ottoman Empire, without any particular customsor rites and without gender separation, to its status since 1967 asan Israeli ‘national synagogue,’ which features both Orthodoxsynagogue rites and national ceremonies and thus has come tobe a provocation to the adjacent Islamic holy places. I argue thatWoW’s goal of establishing the Western Wall as an egalitariansynagogue would strengthen Zionist sovereignty over the site andwould dampen the oppressive power relations that unfold at theplaza. Therefore, I suggest to seek for a new path for the jewishfeminism political horizon, a path which will lead to solidarity andcooperation among women from different political groups. With an English summary. |
