Ever heard of The Jerusalem Prayer Team? They send out requests of what to pray for in the Holy City.
I have a ring that I wear to remind me of Davids admonition in Psalms 137:5-6
Here is an excerpt from a recent email request.They have an urgent prayer need right now regarding the Holy City of G-d, Zion, the Apple of His eye, who is set for desecration, on the Anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of broken windows (of Jewish business' and synogogues) glass.
Calling it an “insult to Holocaust survivors,” Jerusalem councilwoman Mina Fenton has called for the Israeli government to condemn the proposed Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem on November 10. Said Fenton, “Holocaust survivors feel hurt that in the Jewish state in which they live, after the horrors they were subjected to, the city as well as [Krystal Nacht] are being desecrated.” You can read more about this and what can be done here.
She added, “Any day that is chosen to hold the gay parade is a sad day. The first date set for the parade was November 4. How would the secular, atheist public...accept the day marking Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination? I object to the parade…the gay community is intolerant. This is hypocrisy!”
One Orthodox Jew stated, “Rabbis are fearful of another war, so they...protest and act for the preservation of Jerusalem’s sanctity.”
To add insult to injury, an ad is being run in Jerusalem that directs homosexual and bisexual men to “15,000 locations listed where gay and bisexual guys meet...” It goes on to list “gay saunas, gay bathhouses, adult video arcades, adult cinemas, gay nude beaches, and etc.”
Journalist Yitzhak Weiss says that “holding the parade in Jerusalem empties the title 'Holy City of the Jews' of all meaning.”

MOD HAT: This Thread is for informational purposes so we know what is happening in our beloved city Yerushalyim. It is not open for debate and not open to posters not MJ ( torah scroll) or NTMJ ( menorah) or Jewish ( Magen David). Any posts that do not have those icons will be deleted. This is for discussion of this travesty of a city which is dear to our hearts and what this means in the spiritual.
Thank you

This scripture has played a big part in Jewish weddings for a long time. That is the reason the glass is broken at the end of the ceremony. For in times of our greatest joy we must not forget the tragedy of the destruction of the Temple and to pray for Jerusalem.If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its cunning, if I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
