Send a prayer to the Western Wall by SMS

thumb_01.jpg It a very old tradition to place a note with a prayer or request in the Western Wall and for years, several Web sites have offered Jews from around the world the option to send their prayers by e-mail to a rabbi who then prints them out and places them for them in Jerusalem's Western Wall.

Now SMS2Wall is offering a text message version of this same service, enabling people who can't make it to Jerusalem, to have their intimate messages placed in the Western Wall, from their mobile phones.

Our goal is to enable all people, Jewish and others, to be in the close contact with the Holy City of Jerusalem and its Western Wall in a simple and trustful manner.

How does it work?

-- Think of a message (prayer, wish, hope) you would like to reach the Western Wall.
-- Compose the text message: WALL your message
-- Send it to the number attributed by country

Your message is printed out and placed it into the Western Wall.

Previously:

-- Send a prayer by SMS to the Western Wall - A similar service was mentioned in an IOL article dated September 25, 2003, but there was no mention of the name of the company.
