Twitter users can now tweet their prayers to Western Wall - The Boston Globe

Sign of the time

The Western Wall now has its own address on Twitter, the social networking service, allowing believers around the globe to have their prayers placed between its 2,000-year-old stones without leaving their armchairs.

The service’s founder, Alon Nil, says petitioners can tweet their prayers, and they will be printed out and taken to the wall, where they will join the thousands of handwritten notes placed by visitors who believe their requests will find a shortcut to God by being deposited there.
