An atzeres tefilla will be held at the Kosel, scheduled for Monday, 29 Tishrei at 16:30.
The event is timed with the end of the shiva for Kedoshim Rabbi Eitam and Na’ama Henkin, Rabbi Aharon Benita and Rav Nechemia Lavie HY”D. The Henkins were murdered in a Shomron shooting attack and Rav Lavie and Rav Benita were murdered near Shar Shechem in Jerusalem’s Old City.
Among the rabbonim expected to take part in the atzeres are Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Aryeh Stern, Rabbi Dov Lior, Tzfat Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rechovot Chief Rabbi Simcha HaKohen Kook, Rabbi Shar Yashuv Cohen, Ramat Gan Chief Rabbi Yaakov Ariel, Rosh Yeshivas Merkaz HaRav Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, and Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem’s Old City Rabbi Avigdor Nebenzahl.
Members of the bereaved families are also expected to take part in the atzeres.

I think we should do the same maybe in a stadium like citi field. Not just for this we are all in a crisis. Whether it’s the Iran deal or financial problems including the 16 trillion debt the country is in or whether it’s the tremendous rise in anti semitism. We must get together. Maybe every city should have their own asifa or maybe every shul should have an asifa. The bottom line is something must be done and we must wake up. עורו ישינים משנתכם
