This is a new thing in Israel. Because of this virus we can’t go to synagoge, so instead, we pray each one from his or her balcony. Most apartments in the religious neighborhoods have balconies! We don’t need microphones as the leader is just across the street. In this photo, taken in the morning, you can see people getting ready. We do the prayers three times a day, praying to G-d to remove the virus from the entire world! Pray with us! Tomorrow we will start at 8:00am.
Now that the places of worship have opened up nobody is praying from the balconies anymore. It was fun and I miss it.
In Italy they were seen singing from their balconies.
Things are unsettled all over the world. Keep the hope.
We have been praying like this for about 3 weeks already. I pray that this scourge will finish as soon as possible.
Great to hear that faith does not need synagogues , churches or temples . God is with is, in us and hears all our prayers. So, amen to your prayers.
Our community here is very scattered ..
Rachael,
Are you starting over here. I have seen it in my neighborhood too. I hear them too. Thanks for sharing that Rachael.
I have been praying with the minyan from my balcony. I can hear much better than inside a synagogue!
what a creative solution to not only social distancing but still practicing your faith. Resilence lives!
