What is the Western Wall? The Western Wall or Kotel is the only surviving remnant of the Temple, which stood in Jerusalem. The temple served as the closest connective spot between the Jewish people and God. During the exile and the distance, which followed the destruction of the temple, prayer remains as the only means available to maintain a divine connection.
A tradition developed of writing a few lines of prayer on a note to be placed inside the cracks of the soft old stones of the Western Wall. Many send notes or kvitelach when they hear of someone making a trip to the Kotel. Use modern technology to allow VJ to facilitate this process. Whatever your message, we will place your prayer among the countless others: a testament to the connection between God, Israel, and the Jewish People that refuses to be extinguished. Your prayers will be collected every week and taken down to the Wall by Virtual Jerusalem staffers. fill in the form below and send. |
