Israel’s Attorney-General argued that the arrangements at the wall were a matter for government policy rather than for the courts to intervene.
Now the Supreme Court will have to decide whether to rule on a petition from the non-Orthodox movements and the campaign group Women of the Wall.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pressed over the issue in a meeting with American Jewish leaders during his visit to the States this week.
According to JTA, former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and six other senators also wrote to him.
“As United States senators and as Jews proud of the historic and powerful bond between our two nations, we write to express our deep concern about recent Israeli government decisions that continue to reject the equality of Judaism’s non-Orthodox movements,” they said.
