Prayers that transcend time and space
While driving yesterday, I heard a quick news report on an organization that supplies proxies to pray at Jerusalem’s Western Wall for individuals who have requests. Upon further investigation, it appears that there are numerous ‘price plans’ and prayer options available. Essentially, a mitzvah (commandment) observer is sent to the kotel (Western Wall) for 40 days to pray for one’s request. There are all sorts of testimonials, success stories and custom prayer options. Prayer agents are sent in exchange for a donation to the Western Wall Prayers organization and apparently, there is one success story reported EACH day. IF indeed there is success to all of these participants, perhaps I should send my $90 to the organization instead of paying my online dating site memberships…
