A large sign was hung at the Western Wall on Sunday morning with the “Mi Shebeirach” prayer for the IDF soldiers and security forces.

A second prayer was also posted: “Our brethren, the whole house of Israel who are in distress and captivity, who stand between the sea and the dry land, may the One who dwells in the highest heavens have compassion on them, and take them out from distress to relief, from darkness to light, and from subjugation to redemption. And let us say: Amen.”
