Description

We pray AT the Gates of Heaven - Yerushalayim - and FOR Yerushalayim! This we can derive from The Yerushalmi: בירושלמי ברכות פ"ד ה"ה דרשו את הכתוב: כמגדל דוד צוארך בנוי לתלפיות תל שכל פיות מתפללים עליו , It is our responsibility to stand up for our home - even if the effort to explain to the world the beauty of Yerushalayim is futile, we must explain it to ourselves. We must re-dedicate our efforts to study Toraqh in our city because As the Gemorah in Makkot 10a says: מי גרם לרגלינו שיעמדו במלחמה? שערי ירושלם שהיו עוסקים בתורה.
