David Laron, director general of the Israel Postal System, gave Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites, a special packet of “letters to G-d” collected by the post office during this past year of 5782. Every year, letters are sent to G-d from around the world without a physical address. The letters are carefully saved by the Israel Postal Service every year and given to the rabbi of the Western Wall before the High Holidays to be placed between the stones of the Western Wall, completing their prayer journey.

Prayers to the Western Wall from 140 countries: “For My House shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, in keeping with tradition: Prayer notes placed between the stones of the Western Wall over the past six months have been removed and transferred for ritual burial.
