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!

A quick post to share with you a cool video recently uploaded to YouTube. Last Friday an organizations called Nefesh Be-Nefesh organized a flashmob in Jerusalem. This is what it looked like:
personally, I think it’s a really cool, unanticipated act, that brought something fun, young and joyful to a 3,000 year old city! Well done!
Shalom all!
A couple of weeks ago I took another box full of your prayers to the Kotel (the Western Wall) and stashed them in the crevices of the Wall. Along with me was a crew of the Japanese TV station NHK. If you send your prayer between the 1st and the 14th of October – than your prayer is in these photos!

I haven’t been active a lot this week because I was out with the flu. Still a bit sick, but getting better. Slowly but safely recuperating, and hope to be like new in a couple of days.
Just a week ago I was at the Western-Wall, and brought 3,812 prayers with me.
I have an important meeting in Jerusalem this coming Thursday, with a man who might really help with this operation. Of course I’ll be taking prayers with me. So, if you tweet your prayers by this Monday (Oct. 12th), they will be put in the Western-Wall on Thursday.
So tweet away, spread the word and invite your friends to do the same!
Best from the Holy-Land,
Alon
