Kabbalat Shabbat at the Egalitarian Kotel 
Shabbat in Jerusalem is a unique experience. The city ceases of all activities, and offers all its residents and visitors a wide variety of Kabbalot Shabbat in every style, stream and color. The Kotel on Friday night also bears a festive atmosphere welcoming the Sabbath Queen.

Join us for a family Shabbat, without barriers, at the Family Kotel (Ezrat Israel), together with families and groups, youth and adults, from Israel and around the world. The halachic and egalitarian prayer service will take place with an abundance of song and joy.
