As Israel continues its fight in Operation Am K’Lavi, a special atzeres tefillah was held Monday evening at the Kosel, organized by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. The emotionally charged event featured the sounding of shofaros and trumpets, invoking a segulah for victory against Israel’s enemies.
The gathering, held against the backdrop of the ongoing war and difficult security situation, brought together a group of rabbonim and community leaders who led heartfelt tefillos for the safety and success of IDF soldiers and security forces, for the recovery of the wounded, the safe return of the captives, and for the unity and protection of Klal Yisroel.
Among those who participated were Chief Rabbi Harav David Yosef; Chief Rabbi Harav Kalman Bar; Harav Reuven Elbaz, member of the Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah of Shas and Rosh Yeshivas Ohr HaChaim; Harav Shmuel Rabinowitz, rov of the Kosel and mekomos hakedoshim; Harav Zamir Cohen; as well as other rabbonim and public officials.
The tefillos included Tehillim, Selichos, and special supplications for chizuk, accompanied by the stirring blasts of shofaros and trumpets.
In stirring remarks during the event, the rabbonim called on the public to strengthen themselves in tefillah, emunah, and ahavas Yisroel.
Due to current security regulations from the IDF Home Front Command and the Israel Police, the event was held in a limited format. Nevertheless, tens of thousands across the country joined the atzeres via a live broadcast transmitted by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation on radio stations and news websites.
