The OU Calls on All Synagogues Across North America to Assemble for a Nationwide Night of Prayer and Torah Study for Israel
Do your part through prayer and learning in your synagogue, raising our voices in unison nationwide!
Join the live webcast Wednesday, July 19,
9:00 pm E.D.T. (6:00 pm Pacific)
Participating Synagogues
OU asks synagogues to indicate their participation (email: kehilla@ou.org) so they can be listed here.
While many congregations are already adding extra tehillim to their regular services, Jewish tradition places great value in having an entire community raising their voices in unison. With the expectation that several hundred synagogues will participate, many, many thousands of Jews will be united in their prayers at this time.
The program should include:
Recitation of Tehillim 70, 13, 142, 126
Prayer for the Release of the Captured Israeli Soldiers by Chief Rabbi Rishon leZion Harav Shlomo Amar (English translation)
Acheinu
Additional tehillim could include 10, 20, 25, 121, 125, 130.
