On the large banner, the prayer "Mi Shebeirach" for the IDF soldiers and security forces is featured, along with the prayer:

"אַחֵינוּ כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנְּתוּנִים בַּצָּרָה וּבַשִּׁבְיָה הָעוֹמְדִים בֵּין בַּיָּם וּבֵין בַּיַּבָּשָׁה הַמָּקוֹם יְרַחֵם עֲלֵיהֶם וְיוֹצִיאֵם מִצָּרָה לִרְוָחָה וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה הָשָׁתָא בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן"

"Our brothers, the entire house of Israel, who are in distress and captivity, who stand between the sea and the dry land, may the Merciful One have compassion on them and bring them from distress to relief, from darkness to light, and from servitude to redemption, now, speedily, and let us say, Amen."

For the return home of the captives and the missing persons in health and wholeness.

Simultaneously, Psalms gatherings are continuing to be held for the success of the IDF soldiers and the security forces fighting on various fronts, and for the swift and peaceful return of the captives and the missing persons.

So far, over 2500 names have been sent for prayers at the Western Wall. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation states that you can send names for prayers for the missing, captives, and the healing of the wounded at the number 052-3584700 or through the Western Wall's website. The requests and names will be conveyed for prayers at the Psalms gathering in front of the Holy of Holies.

Satire, Israel-Gaza War

MUST WATCH: L.E. Staiman is the Jewish satirist we never knew we needed

L.E. Staiman entertains by blending humor with sharp, satirical commentary, often using absurdity to highlight real issues. His character Lyle Culpepper is a hilariously exaggerated persona of an "anti-Semitic lefty," poking fun at extreme views while exposing their flaws. Through Lyle’s antics, Staiman not only makes us laugh but also pushes us to think critically about antisemitism and misinformation.
