We were moved by accompanying the families of Israeli captives Alex Lubnov, who was taken hostage from the music festival in Re’im, and Ran guili, missing since October 7th. The families came to pray at the Western Wall, praying together for the speedy and safe return of their loved ones along with all the other hostages and missing.
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.
