Sending letters to God is an annual tradition that many people around the world still continue doing. How do they do it? They write their letters to God from their homes and send them to the Israel Post.

But during the Covid-19 pandemic, Israel’s Western Wall has seen an increase in those letters as a great amount of people is joining to those who wait their written prayer be answered by God.

Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch said that:“Here by the Western Wall, we know (God says) that My House will be called a house of prayer for all nations. Here is the place that prayers are raised from everyone,”  adding that they have asked God to hear and answer their prayers.

Here you have some of the prayers people write in their letters to God:

Sylvia from Ecuador wrote: “Forgive me, my Father, I have been unable to repent. Please care for my late husband’s soul and the living on earth”

Meanwhile, Anna, a single mom from Canada wrote: “Dear God, please bring new friends into my life, and tell my family to help me, because most of us do not talk to each other and I have no one to talk to.”

According to Danny Goldstein, Israel Post CEO, the Postal Authority is glad to help people’s letters get to the Wall  with “the hope that they will be fulfilled.”

“People that usually come to pray at the Kotel (Western Wall) but now it’s hard for them to get here so they are sending more letters,” Goldstein said.
