Rabbis issue worldwide call for prayer

As a record number of Hezbollah rockets struck towns and communities in Israel today, Rabbinic leaders are asking sympathetic Christians and Jews to pray, for Jewish men to don tefillin, and for Jewish women to light Shabbat candles every Friday before sunset.

"We call upon all Christians and non-Jews to increase in acts of goodness and kindness to your neighbor and fellow man. For Jewish males above the age of 13 to don Tefillin every weekday. Tefillin possesses a special spiritual component that frightens and deters the enemy. And to all Jewish women to start lighting Shabbat candles every Friday before sunset. Shabbat candles too have a spiritual component to dispel darkness and to light up the world," the Rabbinic Congress for Peace, a coalition of over 1200 rabbinic leaders and pulpit rabbis, said in a statement.
