The children recited several kapitlech of tehillim and davened Mincha together. They were joined by numerous Gedolei Yisrael and mechanchim including Rav Mattisyahu Solomon Shlita, who led the Tehilim. Harav Tirnauer Shlita, the Rav of Shomer Shabbos Shul recited the Avinu Malkeinu’s, and Rav Yecheskel Roth Shlita (Karlsburger Rav) led them with the Selicha of the Shlosh Asrei Middos, and Shema Yisrael.

The sites include yeshivos and Bais Yaakovs across the United States and Canada, and places as far away as Mexico, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Manchester and Eretz Yisroel. The primary purpose of this gathering is to pray for all those among Klal Yisrael who are in desperate need of a refua sheleima.
For the first time, the event was streamed live on the Internet, and featured exclusively on YWN. Tens of thousands of people logged on and participated in saying Tehillim at the same time.
