I've had lots of "firsts" recently, and one of them was praying in the Ezrat Nashim, Women's Section of the Synagogue in the Jerusalem Central Bus Station. I was pleased to see another woman already deep in her prayers when I walked in.
The wall separating the men's a women's section is just short the ceiling, so if you're looking for a synagogue to say Kaddish, The Prayer for Mourners, you can hear the men. Whoever is in charge has made an effort to make it "useful" and "comfortable," providing a table, chairs and the right books for prayers.
A man did open the door and looked surprised to see us. Maybe it's because he wanted to put something in this box, for geniza.
