Judaism - call and He will answer

Call and He Will Answer

August 14, 2018

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable 
things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).

What a beautiful promise. And it is a promise I am reminded of especially
at this time of year, when we at The Fellowship take prayer requests from
our faithful partners to bring before God at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
It is one of our most important traditions, and one we feel privileged to continue.

It is difficult to describe the feelings of awe and reverence that surround a person
praying at the Western Wall, the site where the two Holy Temples once stood and
the holiest site in all Judaism. Christians, too, tell me how overwhelmed they are to
realize that the Wall existed at the time of Jesus, and that Jesus came there to teach
 many times.

Once again this year, we would like to take your prayer before God at the Western Wall.
 All you need to do is to complete our prayer request form.

I am continually moved when I think of your generosity and how this generosity has
been an answer to the prayers of so many suffering people. Your sacrificial support
of Israel and needy Jewish people around the world must surely please the heart
of God.

Praying for you at the Wall, asking God to bless you and meet your needs, is one way
of returning the blessing of your prayers and support for God’s people. And what a joy
it is for us to hear from partners like you, as we do every year, that our prayers on your
behalf have been answered!

It is your generosity, and God’s favor, that allows us to answer the prayers of Jews
living in dire need in Israel and around the world.

Thank you, my friend, for your continued support and your generous heart
for God’s children.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
