Pictures from the Kotel – Placing the Prayers

   Posted by: Alon   in Blog

On October 2nd I went to Jerusalem with a big box full of prayers. 3,812 of your prayers were placed in the Western-Wall that day. Since there were so many prayers to carry and place, I had my childhood friend Dan accompany me in the trip. Below are just some of the many pictures we took that day. I have more touching pictures (and videos!) I’ll share with you soon.

Click on a picture to enlarge:

Holding Prayers

Dan knows where”s the final destination:

Time to place some prayers:

Stashing Prayers

Placing Prayers

We ran out of places to put the prayers so Dan, who is taller than I am (ex-basketball player), helped putting remaining prayers deep inside the crevice:

Dan inside

And eventually (it took so long!):

EMPTY box

Inside the wall it looked like a river of blue prayers!

G-d is so awesome that He would hear my cries for His Blessings for me and my family among all the other pleadings and Greater still that He would answer me. May HIS Blessings be upon you too. Thank you so much for this great work of yours. My prayers have been answered.
