Until this moment, 23363 jews from 137 countries have joined this prayer.
The names of those who have joined will be printed and put in The Kotel by the chief rabbi of Israel with his blessing. Join here.
Scheduled for Tuesday at 1900 (Israel time). Time of prayer by countries.
Maybe we should include a prayer in there for the American soldiers in Iraq and the USA as well. We are all in the trying-to-survive terrorism boat together. The good and those who are with us in the battle against terrorism also need to be strengthened by our prayers.

My name is Shannon Shane Davis and I live in Eugene, Oregon. I have been recently released from prison after serving three years for Drug Possession charges. I am making the best efforts I can to change my life and improve myself through daily moral, spiritual, and physical habituation. While in prison I started studying Judaism and as a Noachite under the guidance and help of Rabbi Shmuel Spritzer of the Reaching Out, Lubavitch Prison Out Reach program in Brooklyn, NY. With the help of my good friend Dr. Samuel Aluwalanah I also learned how to read basic Biblical Hebrew and I spent time every day not only studying Judaism but also reading the teachings of the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad Chassidism and the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson. I also chose to participate in college correspondence classes through the mail through Portland State University and received As’ for my efforts. This inspired me to apply for Government grants to attend college when I was released. I am now working and going to college full time to accomplish a degree in Electronic Technology. I live in my own apartment and I meet with the only Jewish Orthodox Rabbi that lives in Eugene at least three time a week to study towards a Torah true Halachic conversion. I am a firm believer that there are powers that exist in this world that thrive off of man’s iniquities. Most people live their lives in complete ignorance of the consequences that happen in other realms due to every positive and negative action that a person does. These powers are not like the Science Fiction or Horror movies that we are all used to. The only books that I have found that even come close to explaining some of the true experiences that I have had are written about the sitra- achra and evil influence of the yetzere ha rah in Jewish mysticism. I firmly believe that I was not supposed to make it out of prison that the those powers had me firmly gripped. I feel now that they are not going to let their mistake go and that my soul is in grave danger. I am doing my best to live the appropriate life through honest repentance, teshuva and tzedakah. I have completely changed my ways but I know that the more I fight the more traps are set and the demons of the other side are as real as your next door neighbor. This may sound like a paranoid delusion but I can swear by the real occurrences that have happened in my life that it is very real. I am truly scared and I ask if anyone has any advice for me before it is to late please feel free to email me at gonnabajew@excite.com
Act uprightly and with honor, do good, and be true to yourself. Doing and making doing these things your way of life is your best defense against baneful "demonic power". In time, these same "demonic powers" may become some of your strongest allies if you live rightly.
