1. That's such a nice article!!!
Talula ,   Isrel   (12.10.08)
It's wonderful that people actually care about these letters written to God. I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
2. Wall of Prayer
YaaKov bin Adonai ,   Oregon City, OR. USA   (12.10.08)
A blessing that people all over the world seek out the Wall for their prayer request... the Ha'tikvah is in Yerushalayim Yes,...Ha'Shem gets the Glory
3. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   bs as arg   (12.11.08)
G-D said let US made man OUR image,G-D made man over jesus´image because of that jesus said before avraham I WAS,jesus is wise of himself and understands of himself,because wisdom is not called of its own,but rather because of the wise one who filled it with his own welling,understanding is not called so of its own accord,but rather because of the understanding one who filled it from his own,and if jesus had removed himself and risen from it,it´d have remained dry,this is the meaning of the waters fail from the sea,and the river is parched,and dries up (lyov 14:11) jesus,blessed be he,is coming upon the evil inclination and slaughter it and yisrael shall kill it because the revelation of JESUSALEN is higher than the redemption from egypt,the truth destroys the lie for the eternity.

Arthur ,   SF, CA   (12.11.08)
You really had to show the letter (picture #4) addressed to Yoshka ? Speaks volumes of your staff's agenda...
6. What a lovely thing to do.
Rivkah   (12.11.08)
7. this story was covered on u.s. television. it made israel
debra ,   usa   (12.11.08)
and its jews look very close to Hashem in the eyes of the world.
8. Rabbinic Apostasy: From Holy to Giant Magic Amulet
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (12.11.08)
Har ha-Bayit was Holy because it was the central place of Tephilot (prayers) and, in the first Beit ha-Miqdash, the place where the physical evidence of Har Sinai was safeguarded. It was never magic, which is prohibited by Torah. It must again become a "Beit-Tephilah (House of Prayer) for all kindreds" (Isa. 56.7). Not a giant magic amulet for rabbinic profiteering or self-promotion. HaSheim is not physical or like [le-havdil] Santa Claus and, it logically follows, He cannot be reached by physical means. Return these foolish, anthropomorphic and idolatrous letters -- defined by Prov. 28.9 as toeivot (abominations) -- to the sender or trash them. Want to reach the Creator? Read Prov. 28.9.

9. Western wall and tradition of placing notes to the Almoghty
Jack ,   Us   (12.11.08)
Is an old tradition. The Palestinians believe that He has an apartment in the space behind the wall and that He lives in Jerusalem as a physical being. Clearly the tradition of bringing messages to Him is very old. It is quite comforting to know that the letters are taken to the wall, even though He got the messages when written. It is also a show of respect for the abrahimic religins in any case.

cristian ,   bs as arg   (12.12.08)
lord jesus who rules over all,the way you judge is true and fair,king of the ages! lord jesus who will not have respect for you? who will not bring glory to your name? you alone are holy,all nations will come and worship you,they see that the things you do are right,you are the one who is and who was,the beast´s worshippers have poured out the life´s blood of your people and your prophets,so you´ve given those worshippers blood to drink that´s exactly what they should get.

you all three belong in the same place : a trash can . Not because of your ideas , but because of your christian missionary work .
15. To Yirmeyahu #8. Should Be Appreciated.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (12.13.08)
You say :” HaSheim is not physical .. , He cannot be reached by physical means (i.e. letters).” Dear Paqid, although YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, is not physical but one should know that EVERYTHING physical is the property of YAHWEH ; HE is the OWNER of the whole of planet EARTH, of the whole universe. That’s one point. Next point : prayers send (or written) to YAHWEH should be appreciated by us. Seems like you are not appreciative of the trouble taken by the religious people in writing and posting their heartfelt letters/cards. YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, is a person -- HE is the Supreme Person. And because HE is a person -- HE can hear your prayers. Paqid, what benefit will you have in forbidding people to write letters to YAHWEH ? You say :” HaSheim is not … Santa Claus ..” You are right. YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, is not Santa Claus. But His servant (like Moses the Law Giver) is Santa Claus. That’s why, if one wants to send his prayers (or desires) to YAHWEH -- it is better to approach Moses the Law Giver, and ask him to convey your prayers (or desires) to YAHWEH. WHY ? Because YAHWEH listens to His recognized servants readily -- have NO doubt about that, be sure of that. That’s why, the recognized servants (like Moses the Law Giver) are considered to be MORE merciful than YAHWEH. YAHWEH may or may not listen to us (us, i.e. you and me). BTW at the present moment we, i.e. you and me, are NOT recognized servants of YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord. BTW do NOT think that Moses the Law Giver cannot hear us when offering a prayer. Do NOT think that Moses the Law Giver is dead and gone. IF you think that Moses the Law Giver is dead and gone -- that means you have NO spiritual understanding. Be sure of that.
16. Heart-warming Article!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (12.17.08)
Nice to know the letters get handled respectfully & delivered to the Wall! When you think about it, how appropriate for people to send letters to G-d at Jerusalem! G-d WILL set up His Throne in Jerusalem.
