Under the new guidelines, individuals who wish to bring in a Torah scroll to the Kotel will require a permit from the Kotel Rabbi.
The guidelines were put in place due to concerns over thefts of Torah scrolls, as well to try to prevent attempts by individuals or groups to bring in Torah scrolls for the purposes of conducting prayer services that are not in conjunction with local customs.
like the noshim datim kalos really care!
Rabinovitch is playing his games again….by local customs he means anyone other than chareidim who have nothing better to do with their time but sit by the kosel and daven. Many other groups of yidden bring their own seforim to the wall for bar mitzvah ceremonies, shuls that have purchased a special sefer in EY etc. There are also womens’ group who want to daven with a sefer near the kosel but have been beaten by the police. Rabinovitch should be ignored on this issue.
