Court of the women

The court of the women (Hebrew: עזרת הנשים‎ Ezrat HaNashim or עזרת נשים‎ Ezrat Nashim) was the outer forecourt of the Temples in Jerusalem into which women were permitted to enter. The court was also known as the "middle court," as it stood between the Court of the Gentiles and the court of Israel, i.e. the court of the men.
