Violent clashes broke out by the Western Wall in Jerusalem yesterday over the right of women to hold prayers at the Western Wall.  Dozens of police officers created a barrier between about a hundred members of the Women of the Wall group and 2,000 ultra-Orthodox protesters, mainly young men, who were trying to block them.
