The Jewish Agency for Israel has announced a global campaign to gather the prayers of Jews from Israel and around the world and place them in the cracks between the stones of the Western Wall (Kotel), a customary tradition for visitors to the holy site.

Due to restricted access to Jerusalem currently for both Israelis and tourists alike, Jewish Agency shlichim (emissaries) stationed around the globe are inviting Jews to send their notes for placement in the Western Wall.

“Between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the Western Wall and its plaza are normally packed with visitors. This year, due to coronavirus restrictions, it’s not possible to come to Jerusalem,” said Jewish Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog.

“As an organization whose mission it is to strengthen global Jewry and its relationship with Israel, we thought it would be fitting to facilitate this important act during this High Holiday season.”

Many people have already sent their wishes. The video below shows Herzog placing prayer notes sent by Noam from New Zealand, Danielle from the United States, Dimitri from Ukraine, Lauren from Paris and Miriam from Mexico.
