"Women of the Wall" assemble to pray aloud and read from the Torah at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, photo courtesy of Meret USA
 Anat Hoffman is a founding member of “Women of the Wall,” a group of women who lead prayers at the Israeli Western Wall as men have for centuries. We talk about her work with the Jewish reform movement in Israel. And, on our weekly Global Activism segment, we learn about One Heart For Congo's efforts to fund projects in the DRC, and to support Congolese immigrants here in Illinois.
