Good afternoon!
This is your pilot speaking!
Have you fastened your seatbelts?
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Take Off
Sit back comfortably
and enjoy the flight

3. That was an easy flight!That was an easy flight!
The first place I always go to is the Kosel Hamaravi,
the Western Wall in Yerushalayim.
It is the last remaining wall of the Beis Hamikdosh.
The Sages prophesied that after the Temple's destruction,
the Divine Presence will never leave the Western Wall.
For this reason, the Wall will never be destroyed.

4. Why is the wall holy?Why is the wall holy?

5. Got a problem?Got a problem?
• The Kosel has no street number
and no postal code, but it
receives more letters than
anyone in the world.
• Letters arrive from every country
where Jews are living.
• Hashem sees into our hearts and
answers all our Tefillos.
• I am now going to write my own
letter to Hashem….

6. DoDo allall the letters really find athe letters really find a
place in the cracks of the Kosel?place in the cracks of the Kosel?
• Of course.
• However, the Kosel cannot hold an
infinite number of letters. Space has to
be cleared for the new arrivals that
come in daily.
• Out of respect for the messages and
the people who wrote them, they
collect all the notes and bury them on
Har Hazeisim.

7. Which bus shall we take?Which bus shall we take?
We must take this one, as it has thick
protective windows and on the front
there is a large sign that says “KEVER
ROCHEL.”

8. Have we arrived already?

9. Rochel is crying for herRochel is crying for her
children…children…
Hashem specifically buried Rochel
Imeinu between Efrat and Beis
Lechem, so that when the Jews were
sent off into Galus, on the way they
could daven by Kever Rochel.

10. Send your own letter to Rochel
Imeinu…
Write your heart’s desire on a piece of
paper and mail it to:
Mosdos Kever Rochel
POB 41118
Jerusalem
91410
ISRAEL.
Somebody will personally deliver the
letter to Kever Rochel for you!
