Pray for the peace of Jerusalem;

PSALMS (122:6)

תהילים קכ''ב:ו

sha-ah-LOO she-LOME ye-roo-sha-la-YEEM
yeesh-la-YOO oh-ha-va-YEEKH

For centuries, Jews have gone to pour out their hearts

in prayer at the Western Wall. Over the generations,

the massive stones have been smoothed by the hands

and tears of countless supplicants.

The first Chief Rabbi of pre-state Israel, Rabbi Abraham

Isaac Kook, wrote so touchingly about the Wall: “There

are men with hearts of stone, and there are stones with

hearts of men.”
