Hundreds of far-right Orthodox Jews overran a prayer service being held by the Conservative Movement at the egalitarian prayer plaza at the Western Wall on Saturday night to mark the fast day of Tisha B’Av, which mourns the destruction of the two Jewish temples that stood on the Temple Mount.
Worshipers were reading from the Book of Lamentations, an annual event at the site to commemorate one of the most sorrowful days in the Jewish calendar. The fast began on Saturday evening and lasts for 25 hours.
