Jewish women praying at the Kotel, 1900.
Happy Jerusalem Day!
No matter where we are in the world, Jews pray facing Jerusalem — but it’s not just about geography.
It’s about memory, longing, and connection.
Jerusalem was the site of the Temples, the center of Jewish life and Divine presence. The Talmud teaches us to direct our hearts toward it — because it’s more than a city. It’s a spiritual compass.
When we face Jerusalem in prayer, we’re uniting across time and space, anchoring ourselves in Jewish history, hope, and homeland.

The resilience of Israelis under constant attack from rockets and drones is amazing. They are still the eighth happiest nation in the world. While sirens are blaring, they protect Arab children. Under constant pressures, they fund events for orphans, conduct life-saving research, fight cancer, and transplant organs. Women command missile boats, and even soldiers with disabilities are eager to enlist.
While rockets fall and drones explode, Israelis embark on projects to turn seawater into drinking water, generate renewable energy, construct buildings more efficiently, and explore the universe. Meanwhile, their efforts attract huge amounts of foreign investment to continue the incredible work of the Startup Nation.
