What We Do

We are a fundraising project for families and Torah-learning in Jerusalem. In gratitude for your donation, we pray 40 days for Sandu Mendreayou at the Kotel (Western Wall). There is a famous Segula (Torah mystical recipe) that a person who goes to the Western Wall for 40 consecutive days to pray for 1 request, will have that request answered. For generations, Jews in Jerusalem have traditionally made this pilgrimage to the Kotel to pray for marriage, healing, children, income and many other heartfelt requests. There is also a long-standing tradition of donating to have a pious Jew pray in your place, since not everyone is able to make such a journey.

Located in the heart of the Jewish quarter, and run by a Yeshiva family, Western Wall Prayers enables you to have access to this powerful 40-day Segula through donating to have an observant Jew pray 40 days at the Kotel on your behalf. Amongst other reasons, 40 is the number of days that Moses prayed on Mt. Sinai before he successfully attained forgiveness for the Jewish people after the sin of the Golden Calf.

Whether you are in need of a marriage partner, health, children, business success or other, you too could join the countless of other people who have had their prayers answered through this Segula.

Prayer Types

Dini Mendrea


40 day prayers can also be said at the tomb of King David on Mt. Zion and at the tomb of the Holy Kabbalist, the Arizal, in Safed (Minimum donation: $540).

 

  • Standard Prayers:
    A Torah-observant Jew will go to the Western Wall to pray on your behalf as well as others for 40 consecutive days.  Minimum donation: approx. $2/day ($90).

  • Exclusive Prayers:
    A Torah-observant Jew will go to the Western Wall to pray exclusively on your behalf for 40 consecutive days.  The entire Bircas HaTorah Yeshiva will say a psalm for you and Rabbi Nebensahl, Chief Rabbi of the Old City and one of the great Tzaddikim of our time will do a Mesheberach for you (special prayer in front of a congregation).  Minimum donation: $9/day ($360).

  • Personalized Exclusive Prayers:    
    In addition to an exclusive prayer, over the course of the 40 days, the entire Book of Psalms (150 Tehillim), or King Solomon's Song of Songs (Shir ha Shirim) will be recited at the Wall, a Mesheberach prayer will be recited in Synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem on Shabbat and a Mishna (portion of the Oral Law) will be learned daily in your merit. Rabbi Nebensahl, Chief Rabbi of the Old City and one of the great Tzaddikim of our time will also do a Mesheberach for you. Minimum donation: $18/day ($720 US + *up).

  • Premier Prayers:
    With special permission from the Vaad HaRabbonim (Council of Rabbis in Israel), a minyan (10 Torah-observant men) will pray together for 40 days at the holiest place where Jews are allowed to go - deep in the Western Wall tunnels across from the Holy of Holies. This excludes Shabbat, when they will pray at the Western Wall itself. This site is not available for public prayer. Because of its holiness, special permission is required and is only given in rare circumstances. Minimum donation: $1,800.

  • Custom:
    Please contact us personally to make special higher-end arrangements.

 

The prayer is a 3-part praise, request and thank you, together with psalm, which we will send you upon sign-up.  Your shaliach (proxy) will act as your agent, as if you were standing at the Western Wall in person. S/he will go to the actual site of the Wall, and not just have it in eyesight. Your donation will help to support families and individuals involved in Torah learning in Jerusalem, as well as the Torah institutions for whom they learn.  A small part of your donation will also be given to charity at the Western Wall before each prayer (excluding Shabbat and Holidays, when the Torah forbids Jews to carry money).
