Israel Post Director General Danny Goldstein, on Monday, 16 Elul, ahead of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at the Kosel, met with Rav of the Kosel & Holy Sites Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz Shlita. Goldstein delivered a consignment of letters addressed to G-d to Rabbi Rabinowitz, letters that will be placed between the stones of the Kosel. The letters were posted from Israel as well as from countries such as Russia, China, France, Nigeria, Spain, the Netherlands, the US, the UK and many others.
Hundreds of letters are mailed to Israel annually addressed to – inter alia – “G-d,” “J”, “Our Dear Father in Heaven” and “the Kosel.”
These letters, most of which lack a return address, are sent to the Israel Post Lost and Found Dept., which then sends them, once every few months, to be placed among the stones of the Kosel.

If only they would send these letters to G-d daily, rather than yearly.
ומי גוי גדול אשר לו אלוקים קרובים אליו כהשם אלוקנו בכל קראנו אליו
If “J” is who it probably is, I doubt that Rabbi Rabinowitz would knowingly participate in putting those letters into the kosel.
