Dear all,
In the ongoing trauma following the Oct 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Temple Akiba has put out a “Western Wall” on which we invite all to post a prayer (similar to how people insert prayers and notes into the Western Wall in Jerusalem).
In this delicate moment in time, what is the one prayer you would write?
And please understand, there is a difference between a wish and a prayer. A wish is a one way communication. A prayer is a dialogue. So when we pray, we offer a thought or question. And we listen carefully for a response (which may come from places and at times we don’t anticipate).
What is your prayer?
Are you listening for the response?
Praying for all of us blessings of peace!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
