Soldiers in Iraq prepare to load a helicopter with Passover supplies.

Aside from the tourists, Jewish and non-Jewish, who flock to the holy site daily, every week, scores of Israeli families celebrate their sons’ Bar Mitzvahs at the kotel, as the wall is known in Hebrew.

TACOMA, WA — Reading Brent Emery’s On Faith column in November 2009, “Learning to pray from a Jewish perspective,” and the recent first anniversary of the terror attacks in Mumbai, where the murders of the young Rabbi and his wife, Gabbi, and Rivki Holtzberg occurred, motivated me to introduce Chabad, an organization probably little known to Gateway readers.
