After initially voting for the building of a new area designated for egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall, Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have rescinded the compromise proposal, causing a tremendous backlash among many Jews, particularly outside of Israel. Why did the same ultra-Orthodox parliamentarians who approved the original bill now threaten to topple the government over it? Does it really matter? Does this ultimately symbolic issue have long-term ramifications for the State of Israel? Join Rabbi Dov Lipman and Scott Kahn as they analyze the issues.
