1. I love the class 3,000 years of Jewish history.

Reform Judaism Page:

As the largest standing Jewish movement in the United States, the Reform Movement can produce other smaller groups within that have a more specific agendas. Women of the Wall (WOW) was brought out and affiliated within the Reform Movement and historically shares a large consistency of mutual beliefs. This movement isn't strictly a Reform Jewish movement, as it contains many leaders and followers that don't identify in this specific branch of Judaism. However, the primal leaders, especially Anat Hoffman, as well as several other women, have become central to the movement and also happen to identify as Reform Jews.

Women of the Wall Page: However, within the Reform Movement, WOW has faced both support and criticism. As evidence of this, Rabbi Gilad Kariv who is considered to be the leader of the Reform Movement in Israel, shared a public opinion ultimately disapproving WOW's objectives. Kariv argues that WOW's request of 11 hours a year did not warrant an overhaul of policy, but he still lends support proving the shared beliefs between the two movements of granting women equal rights and opportunities as well as eliminating the exclusion of women in a religious society way beyond permitting equal recognition for both men and women at the western wall.
