From The Times of Israel. Thousands of worshipers attended a Sunday prayer event at the Western Wall for unity held by Jews on opposite sides of the judicial overhaul, as the Knesset began its debate ahead of a vote on the first bill in the contentious legislative package.
Many participants in the prayer event in Jerusalem, co-organized by politicians and rabbis from across the political spectrum, then proceeded to march from the holy site to a rally for unity outside the Israel Museum, near the Knesset.
The event is one of several organized and promoted in recent months for people with opposing views of the overhaul, in attempts to encourage unity amid polarization around the government’s plan to dramatically weaken the judiciary.
Among the organizers of Sunday’s prayer and rally were moderate rabbis and conservatives, including Rabbi David Stav of the Tzohar group, as well as prominent individuals, including Benny Gantz, leader of the opposition National Unity party and opponent of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and its judicial overhaul.
“As we near Tisha B’Av, we are in dire straits, at the edge of a precipice,” Stav told The Times of Israel en route to the rally.
Tisha B’Av is a day of mourning for the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE, and then of its replacement in 421 or 423 BCE. The date, which is widely seen as a reminder of ruination owing to national disunity, this year falls on July 27.
“At times like this, we cannot let such a date pass by without calling on every Jew to contemplate its significance in the current context,” Stav said.
Malka Puterkovsky, an influential teacher of the Talmud who lives in the settlement of Tekoa, described the event as “a rare source of optimism these days.”
Puterkovsky said she was inspired by “the diversity of participants, ranging from Orthodox rabbis to leaders of the protest including Shikma Bressler.” . . .
The prayer coincides with a fateful week for the debate on the overhaul. . . . .
Organizers encouraged participants to hold hands and form a human chain extending from the Western Wall to the Israel Museum.

The following are prayer points we received from Maoz Israel, and were so good, I wanted to share them and stand in agreement with them:
Father, You are the source and standard of all that is just and true.
Show us Your ways that we may walk in the path of truth
Let our nation be ruled by men and women of integrity.
Remove those from power who would rule unjustly and dishonestly.
Cause plans rooted in deception to backfire, and let truth be established.
You know the road You have laid out for Your people to follow. Show Israel’s leaders that path to lead them.
We enjoy our freedoms in democracy. However, we do not worship a form of government, we worship You. Although we ask to live in peace under a free government, it allows us to freely worship You.
We know You have often created storms to set things straight the way You want them. We pray that any part of our world You are shaking will align and adjust to Your perfect will. Let Your will be done to the fullest.
Let the nation of Israel whom You have chosen to represent You to the world be led by those who are worthy of You.
We are a nation under constant threat, and our enemy nations are watching the weakness of our leaders and chaos on the streets. So, we trust in You! We know You who keeps Israel neither slumbers, nor sleeps!
Thwart the plans of enemy forces who would take advantage of Israel’s current vulnerability.
Use the insecurity and unsureness Israelis are feeling right now to turn their eyes and hearts to You. You are the only confidence we have for our future.
Your fellow intercessors,
Kobi and Shani Ferguson
and the entire Maoz Israel Team
Yes and amen, LORD!
Father, I lift up Israel. Thank you for their gathering to pray. I pray your Spirit would woo them to you that there may be true peace in Israel.

Jeremiah 31:9 … because I AM Israel’s father…
Psalm 95:8-9
Dear Father God, You listened to me earlier. As I walked in the shade of the morning, I prayed Your protection over Israel. As I type this, I am reminded that Your relationship with Israel will NEVER be broken! You say, “I am Father to Israel…” and You call them:
MY treasured possession
MY holy people
Chosen
Redeemed
Established as MY own people… forever
Separated as MY inheritance
MY anointed ones
MY servant
“… MINE!”
Never forgotten
Loved with and everlasting love
Ransomed
Beloved
I pray You are pressing into Your people,…giving them eyes to see and hearts to know the TRUTH. I pray for those who love YOU, revelation of TRUTH and for those who don’t, revelation of TRUTH. I pray You are softening hearts to TRUTH. You set a certain day, calling it “Today.” You said, “Today, if you hear My voice, do not harden your hearts.” I pray “Today” for the nation of Israel. Baruch Ha’ba B’Shem Adonai, HIS Name is Yeshua Hamashiach . Baruch Ha’ba B’Shem Adonai, He is THE ONE AND ONLY Messiah. Baruch Ha’ba B’Shem Adonai, Yeshua is returning, Hallelujah! Amen
Lord, peace can only come through righteousness and righteousness comes through you. Praying Israel will recognize you as Lord and Savior. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem. May they have the wisdom that comes through the Holy Spirit.
We need to make a ring of prayer around our capital, Washington DC. Cast out the demons. How many people would it take to take to pray all day, all night, for two weeks? I’ll bet real Americans would love to serve in this way.
I pray for peace and wisdom.
Father God, I pray in agreement with all of the beautiful prayers written here by my brothers and sisters. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that Your name would be lifted high and glorified!! May many people in Israel come to believe in Jesus, the Only Way, Truth, and Life 🙏🏻
Our Father in Heaven, You have ONE desire for Jerusalem and for the Jewish people throughout the world that they would come to know your Beloved Son, The Lord Jesus Christ who walked those streets in Jerusalem and gave His life at Calvary for all who would believe in HIM and accept HIM as their LORD and SAVIOR.
Our GOD in Heaven, we pray for softened hearts, for signs and wonders, for willing hands and for generosity to reveal the reality of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that we may all Jew and Gentile be one in HIM.
Call more people to serve YOU, LORD.
And be glorified LORD JESUS in Jerusalem! Amen.
praise God!
Lord Jesus we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Unite the Apple of Your eye oh God! Show Your people Jesus- open their hearts and minds to receive Him as Lord and Savior. Plow those stony hearts making them soft and pliable to Your Word & truth of Jesus.
Father, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in Your blessed city. We pray for the Israeli people that Your Shalom will rest on them. We decree no weapon formed against them will prosper in Jesus’ name.
” Nations will fear the name of the Lord; and all the kings of the earth will fear Your Glory; for the Lord builds up Zion, He appears in His Glory.” Psalm 102: 13-16. “Thus says the Lord God, when I gather the House of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and manifest My Holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then, they shall dwell in their own land, they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards, they shall dwell securely, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt, then they will know that I Am the Lord their God.” Ezekiel 28: 25-26 Rejoicing Lord God Almighty that the Glorious Day will come when Your feet will descend upon Jerusalem and Israel will be filled with Your Presence as You will rule and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords, Jehovah-Shalom, the Lord is peace. In Jesus’ Victorious Name. I pray. Amen.
Father God, We lift the nation of Israel before You. We pray for the Messianic Jews during this difficult time that they would reflect the light and love of Yeshua Hamashiach. Soften hearts Lord, and may Your Holy Spirit move in the lives of many of Your chosen people. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Father God, be the protection around them and the glory within. Amen
Father God, Israel is forever through Your Son’s Precious Blood of Jesus Christ over Jerusalem and Israel itself!
Thank you so much for IFA and everything you do!
I pray the name of Jesus over the nation of Israel, and I pray for the peace and safety of Jerusalem. May God bless and anoint each and every person mentioned in this article. May America stand firm in our support of Israel. In Jesus’ mighty name.
Father, Almighty Jehovah God! I pray for the peace and security of Israel and Jerusalem. Help your people peacefully and In unity seek peace and cooperation at this time. In Yeshua I pray! Amen!
Psalm 122:6
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Isaiah 66:12
12 For thus says the Lord, “Behold, I extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
And you will be nursed, you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees.
Zechariah 8:19 Amplified Bible
19 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘The fast of the fourth [month to mourn the breaching of Jerusalem’s walls], the fast of the fifth [month to mourn the temple’s destruction], the fast of the seventh [month to mourn Gedaliah’s assassination], and the fast of the tenth [month to mourn the siege of Jerusalem] will become times of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so [to bring this about] love truth and peace.’
Lord, I declare Your Words to and for Israel and Jerusalem today. Amen.
God please bring peace the Israel and all who live there. Let your kingdom come LORD!!
Lord Jesus, I pray that you will raise up those who are righteous in Israel and put them in positions of authority and of influence. Remove those who are leading Israel astray and those who are causing destruction and violence. May Your nation, which You miraculously restored in 1948 after centuries of being scattered around the world without a place of their own, be able to find a place of unity to go forward together from this point, in justice, righteousness and peace with each other.
“Psalms 133:1-3 (NKJV) 1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 [It is] like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 [It is ]like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing– Life forevermore.”
Dear Father God give us a heart for Israel that we may pray and support your chosen people. Guide our leaders here in America to stand strong and defend Israel. Dear Jesus Your hand upon the leaders in Israel and the people. May the plans of the evil one be dismantled in the name of Jesus Amen
Father God I ask that you pour your blessing and favor on Israel. Lord, let them see you and know that only through your son is Israel redeemed. Lord , you have forever cared for this holy ground and the people. Because Jesus set us free, we have mercy and grace a gift we can never repay. Lord we have not forgotten your word and we take that seriously. Lord, forgive them of their sins and pour your justice on them. In Jesus name!
In The U.S. We Are Still Unnecessarily Destroying An Average Of At Least Two Of G-d’s Tiniest Temples Every Minute Each Day. The World Is Unnecessarily Destroying At Least 26 Of G-d’s Tiniest Temples Each And Every Minute Of Each And Every Day. May The Messiah Please Come Speedily In All Our Days.
So sorry for the grief in your heart because of the destruction of the Temples.
May GOD who dwells in the hearts of every true Believer bring you comfort and help many, many people to find a way to stop the destruction of Jewish Temples and Christian Churches.
