"Randi Weingarten's Question Sparks Fact Check on Gender Representation at All-Male Jewish Prayer Service"

Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, faced criticism and a fact-check after questioning the absence of women at an all-male Jewish prayer service. Weingarten, who identifies as a religious Jew, posted a video of the minyan outside the White House and asked where the women were. However, Orthodox Judaism has practiced gender-separated prayers for centuries, and the women were praying separately. Social media users and commentator Mark Levin criticized Weingarten's lack of understanding, with some suggesting she was attempting to shame the pro-Israel event. This incident follows another controversy where Weingarten was called out for promoting an article on the rise of homeschooling.
