Kavana is a commercial service with a refund policy, not a donation. Your prayer is never placed against anyone.
Some days have been held as especially open for prayer for a very long time. We place at the Wall on those days — reserve yours ahead.
For ages the community has read its Scripture on these days. They are our steady days at the Wall.
The turn of the month is a threshold of renewal — a fresh page to place a hope upon.
On the festivals and holy days the Wall fills with prayer. These fill early — reserve in good time.
A birthday, an anniversary, a day of remembrance. Name the date and we will place your prayer then.
Kavana stays with you between the prayers — quietly, and only as much as you want.
Loneliness, fear, a night that will not end. Talk it through in your own words, any hour. Nothing you write is shown to anyone.
Forty-five questions people actually ask, answered from the holy books in nine languages. Nothing is invented: every answer was written out beforehand by people.
Prayers other people have opened to the community are waiting. You can add yours to one of them — nothing to pay, nothing to fill in.
A parent, a child, a friend, a soldier. Give the name and what you would ask for them, and the prayer is carried on their behalf.
We ask you to say your own words to God as well. A prayer bought and left behind is only half of it — we walk you through yours.
Telegram today; the site and your own cabinet alongside it. Nine languages, each written by a believing person rather than a machine.
