Please, Pray For Israel.

Israel is at war. There have been unimaginable atrocities committed against the Jewish people. More than a thousand Israelis murdered, thousands more injured, and communities decimated. In an effort to best support Israel and the Jewish people at this time, we have decided to put our Prayer at the Wall campaign and live prayer event on hold. Instead, we ask that you please show your support and love for Israel by submitting a prayer below, via our virtual prayer wall. Now, more than ever, we need to stand with Israel. And each and every one of your prayers will help Israel and the Jewish people.
