'The People of Israel Pray for China': Nearly 1,000 People Gathered at the Western Wall to Pray Agai
•Feb 21, 2020
Nearly 1,000 people gathered Sunday at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, one of the holiest places in Judaism, to pray for China.
“The Western Wall is a payer site for Jews and non-Jews,” Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, rabbi of the Western Wall, told The Jerusalem Post. . “We pray that China will overcome the [coronavirus] and that it will not spread in China or elsewhere around the world.”
Fox News reported that believers faced the wall with a poster in Hebrew and Chinese reading, “The People of Israel pray for China,” and recited prayers in Hebrew, and one in Mandarin, and sang and danced, in the session that ended with a blast of the shofar.
“There are many doctors and many physicians and many medical experts in the world trying to find a cure for this coronavirus. What we know how to do well is we know how to pray, we know how to talk to God,” Berman told those gathered, according to Fox News.
“We’re going to pray that the doctors are going to be successful,” he added. “Those that are looking for a cure are going to be successful.”
The Chinese Embassy in Israel extended its sincere appreciation for the sympathy, support and solidarity expressed by the Jewish people.
“We will never forget it,” the embassy said in to a statement seen by Fox News.
