Sarah Silverman's sister arrested for 'balls-out' praying in Jerusalem

Israeli police detained 10 women who were praying at Jerusalem's Western Wall, including comedian Sarah Silverman's sister and niece. Rabbi Susan Silverman and her daughter Hallel are reportedly part of a "liberal Jewish women's group" that meets at the wall every month to pray, but they do it while wearing prayer shawls and skullcaps and singing out loud. Those mundane-sounding details tend to catch the eye of the authorities, because only men are permitted to worship at the wall that way. "So proud of my amazing sister … and niece for their [balls-out] civil disobedience," Sarah tweeted. "Ur the tits!" According to Hallel's Twitter account, they were released after four hours.
