On Rosh Chodesh Kislev, November 7-8 2010, we commemorate the arrest of Nofrat Frankel at the Kotel, one year ago.

A year ago, the struggle of Women of the Wall became undeniably clear when Nofrat Frankel was arrested with a Torah and Tallit at the Kotel. The year that has passed since has brought with it more monthly restrictions and intimidation from the police and more restrictive regulations created by the administrator of the Western Wall. But the past year has also brought with it overwhelming outcry and support for this important issue. We must continue to raise our voices in support of Women of the Wall and women's rights to pray freely out loud and with the Torah and Tallit at the Kotel.

Please honor the one year anniversary of Nofrat Frankel's arrest at the Kotel by rising and reciting the following prayer:

Prayer for Women of the Wall

May it be your will, our God and God of our mothers and fathers, to bless this prayer group and all who pray within it: them, their families, and all that is theirs, together with all women's prayer groups and all the women and girls of Your people Israel. Strengthen us and turn our hearts to serve You in truth, reverence, and love.

May our prayer be as desirable and acceptable before You as the prayers of our holy foremothers Sarah, Rivkah, Rahel, and Leah.

May our song ascend to Your Glorious Throne in holiness and purity, like the song of Miriam the Prophet and Devorah the Judge, and may it be as a pleasant savor and sweet incense before You.

And for our sisters, all the women and girls of Your people Israel: let us merit to see their joy and hear their voices raised before You in song and praise. May no woman or girl of Your people Israel or anywhere else in the world be silenced ever again. God of Justice, let us merit justice and salvation soon, for the sanctity of Your name and the restoration of Your world, as it is written: Zion will hear and be joyful, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, over Your judgments, O God. And as it is written: For Zion's sake I will not be still and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be silent, until her righteousness comes forth like great light and her salvation like a torch aflame.

For Torah shall go forth from Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem. Amen, selah.
