Hello all,
As you know, I was recently invited to NYC to present Tweet Your Prayers. Here’s an interesting picture I took underground – waiting for the subway. Imagine that whoever wrote this had to come down to the tunnel, skip the tracks while avoiding incoming trains, and leave his mark. (click to enlarge)
With this message, whoever wrote it is not the usual graffiti-’delinquent’.

Please watch this video blog, in which I detail how to bring The Kotel to the sick:
So, if you think it’s a good idea, and would like to take part, contact me.
Here are some photos from the event at Tel-Hashomer Hospital. To respect their privacy, I did not include many of the photos, which showed the sick children’s faces. Please understand.

Some of the above photos were taken by Star Rajuan. Thanks star

Let me know what you think of my idea.
Best regards from the Holy Land!
Your friend,
Alon
Shalom everyone!
On October 15th I was interviewed by Japan’s #1 TV station – NHK. The crew and I also went to Jerusalem together, where they filmed me placing your prayers in the Western-Wall.
When they interviewed me on my home court, they wanted to show me ‘in action’ so they asked me interact with my followers on Twitter (which means, you!). The story was broadcasted a few weeks ago in Japan, and this is what the Japanese population saw:
If you look closely (click on any photo to enlarge), you’ll see me tweeting you guys and asking to say Hello to NHK TV.
Then, they showed your reactions:
and:
The NHK crew was completely surprised when they saw the dozens of tweets that greeted them hello. I think it’s pretty nice to see this interaction between you – the people who consume media and manufacture “New Media” – and the “Old Media”, like the TV stories.
Here are a couple more pictures from that day:
Here you can see the end-result – The river of blue prayers inside the Western-Wall:
and here’s the camera-guy making sure he has this blue river on video for the Japanese people to see:
Thanks everyone for interacting with me in front of the cameras!
All the best from the Holy Land,
Yours,
Alon
Shalom everyone!
Last Thursday’s trip to Jerusalem was one of the most fun I’ve had. There was such a festive atmosphere there, with many Bar-Mitzvah celebrations, and no one could stay nonchalant.
Here are a few pictures from last week’s ride to Jerusalem. Many beautiful pictures from Jerusalem will be added to the Gallery section soon!

First thing’s first – arriving to the right place!
Taking your prayers to the Kotel itself:
…and making sure the Kippa (Yarmulke ) sits securely on my head:
Looking for my special niche in the Western Wall…
…and finally getting set up:
many minutes and many prayers later that day…
More pictures to come!
