Mass Prayer Against Expulsion at Foot of Holy Temple Mount

Jews across Israel are taking part in a mass prayer at Jerusalem's Western Wall, just below the Temple Mount, Wednesday to call on G-d to stop the expulsion of Jews from their homes in Gush Katif.

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Haredi and National Religious rabbis are calling upon all Jews to take part in a mass prayer at the Western Wall Wednesday for the "nullification of the uprooting decree."

Former Ashkenazi and Sephardi Chief Rabbis Avraham Shapira and Mordechai Eliyahu, who have long led protests against the Gaza expulsion plan, will lead rabbis in a united call directed to the Heavens, rather than toward Israel's Knesset. Rabbis Shapira and Eliyahu will be joined by Shas Party Leader and former Sephardi Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, members of the Haredi-religious Council of Torah Sages, former MK Rabbi Menachem Porush and other prominent Hassidic rabbis.

It isn't perfect, but it's much better than nothing.

Harav Eliyahu and Harav Shapira have led a few mass prayer services in the past few months in which surprisingly no other 'heavyweights' showed.

This time, it was supposed to be a Haredi shindig (Rav Menachem Porush was one of the initiators), then Chabad came strongon and is sort of leading the organization of buses, after which the Haredis sort of lost interest (no mention of the evening in Yeted Neeman or Hamodia). Then surprisingly Harav Ovadia Yosef popped in and said that all his followers should show up, and then yesterday, Harav Eliyahu and Harav Shapira joined in as well.

Hopefully, until the cutain goes up, more 'heavyweights' will sign on and forget about who's leading what and who is will be on the podium.

Now's the time to unite! Haredim, Litaim, Hasidim, Sefaradim, National Religious all together will be a major event.

Hello nice blog site! Added it to my bookmarks for future reference.

I have a Ceiling Fan Globe site/blog. It pretty much covers Ceiling Fan Globe related stuff.

Come check mine out if you get time.

What do you think about Gaza, do you think other occupied areas should be given back?

Yeshai:

Whoa, take a pill. What are you ranting on about?

As for Gaza and other "territories," it is Jewish land which belngs to the indigenous people. Arabs= Arabia. Jews=Judah ("west Bank"). Simple equation really.

Yishai:

Kind of like Pan-Arabism or "Dar Al-Islam," huh?

As a Jew, try going to Mecca sometime. You'd be arrested as no non-Muslim is allowed in their "holy" cities, yet a mosques sits undisturbed on our Temple Mount.

Interesting that Jews are not allowed to live in Gaza anymore so that it can be "Palestinian." All Arabo countries are "Judenreihn" much to their joy.

whoa the occupied areas are exactly that, occupied by migrants fleeing europe in the early 20th century from persecution. The whole Balfour aggrement was drawn up by a Jew. Honestly, you guys really can't see it, your polices are like that of a pre mandela south africa. In addition, a member of your military shot dead a british peace protestor and got just 7 years! Good, fair justice?

And let me add, the Afrikaaners were not native Africans. The Jews are native to the Middle East and Israel proper.

Yeshai is nothing but a Christian cult member. From his "religion's" web site: "Yeshua, is the anointed king of new covenant Isræl, our only rabbi, heavenly high priest."

Beware, ignore and don't engage.
