Alon Nil, 25, of Tel Aviv is offering to take prayers from Jews around the world and place them at the Western Wall – via Twitter. To offer prayers, you may visit his Twitter account, @thekotel, and tweet a prayer. Alon will print the prayer and stuff it in the wall.

What is the Western Wall?

The Western Wall (aka “the Kotel”) is a section of the walls remaining from the second ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, destroyed in 70 CE. Because God’s presence was thought to reside in the Holy of Holies in the Temple, the place is still considered sacred by Jews today. Jews from around the world come to the wall to offer prayers and mourn.

Use this interactive site to learn more about the Temple (this site has everything!).
