Today is the yahrzeit of Ha’ARI Hakadosh, Rabbi Isaac ben Shlomo Luria, a leading rabbi and Jewish mystic in the community of Safed in the 16th century.
It is said that Ha’ARI Hakadosh sent one of his students to pray and sense the Divine Presence at the Western Wall since the Divine Presence does not leave the Wall.
Today, as well, we pray that that G-d keep His promise to be at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
