Object DescriptionBroadside, large prayer gathering. Broadside picked up on the street (note shoe marks) in Jerusalem. This is for a large prayer gathering in response to the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on 9/11/2001, plus a general longing for peace. Working translation of Hebrew text: Save the Frightened Soul. The fears and the panic that spread out in recent days in the entire world arouse us to throw off our indifference and open our hearts. After the whole world sees clearly that the arrogance of "I do things on my own strength" is false! As for us, our strength is only in our words (lit, mouth)! We should follow the example of our forefathers and strengthen ourselves with prayer and begging for pity and observe the call of our rabbis to say each day during the afternoon prayer with outpourings of our soul and begging three chapters of psalms and the prayer of [BG w/look up prayer] And on Tuesday 29th day of Tishrei erev Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan at 2:30 in the afternoon we will all gather, men, women and children, for a large prayer gathering on the square of Mea Shearim and will cry out to God with strength by saying the entire book of Psalms slowly and with great outpourings of soul that not even a single Jewish fingernail should be harmed and may our eyes see your return to Zion with compassion and the speedy coming of the Messiah.Collections
