As part of her visit to Israel, Mrs. Paula White-Cain, spiritual advisor to the President of the United States and head of the U.S. Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, arrived for a special visit to the Western Wall together with her husband, Jonathan Cain, member of the rock band Journey.
She was welcomed by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites, and Mr. Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, Director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. They expressed their gratitude for her personal support and for the consistent and unwavering support of the United States administration, led by President Donald Trump, for the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
Mrs. White-Cain noted that she would convey the thanks and deep appreciation of the people of Israel to President Trump.
During the visit, Mrs. White-Cain received an overview of the religious and historical significance of the site as a spiritual and unifying center for all religions and nations. She also toured the innovative “Gateway to Heaven” exhibit in the Western Wall Tunnels, which tells the story of the Jewish people throughout the generations and connects visitors to their history, heritage, and the enduring hope carried by generations.
At the conclusion of her visit, she wrote a personal note with her heartfelt prayers and placed it between the stones of the Western Wall. She signed the guest book with the words:
“I am honored and grateful to be in this most holy place – for surely God – Hashem has heard our prayers. May His peace be with Jerusalem always.”
