Yeah, right. The power of prayer - that plus a zillion Palestinian prisoners will get Shalit back (I hope). Why didn't all that prayer work a couple of years ago? Or did it have a cumulative effect? Who is fooling whom?

This past Sept. 15, 2011 my husband, haRav haMekubal Yehudah Alfasi, rosh kollel - Yeshivat haMekubalim Kol Yehuda v'Eliyahu in Tzfat, performed a pidyon nefesh for Gilad Shalit.
