וואס זיכען ישיבה בחורים 5 פארטאגס ביים כותל?
אף ספר מוסר או משגיח כל שהוא לא יכול היה לנסח בקשה תמציתית ברורה וטובה מזו מהקב"ה.
"אלוהים הגן על משפחתי ועליי, סלח לי על חטאי
ועזור לי להישמר מפני גאווה וייאוש. תן לי את החוכמה לעשות את מה
שנכון וצודק ועשה אותי לכלי לביצוע רצונך"
[בילד – נישט אפגעהיט]
Jerusalem, Israel - Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitz, the rabbi of the Western Wall, criticized the Ma'ariv newspaper on Friday for publishing the personal note US presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama placed between the cracks of the Kotel early Thursday morning.
Rabinovitz said that the publication was an intrusion of the senator's privacy. The note was taken by a yeshiva student and given to the newspaper, which published it on Friday morning.
In the note, Obama asks the Lord to ''protect my family and me, forgive my sins and help me guard against pride and deception.''
Notes to the Kotel are considered extremely personal and never, in recent memory, has one been published against the wishes of the person who placed it.

ענק האבן געהערט וואס ער האט געזאגט פאר שמעון פרס?
הלאווי אויך מיר ביי 85 יאר......זאל איך אויסזעהן אזוי גוט ווי דיר....
נאך נקודות ...צו בחירות..
Obama deposits the note.
Jerusalem - A videotape has been posted on YouTube which may show the moment of pilferage, which the videograph credibly shows is taken ''seconds after Senator Obama steps away from the Western Wall.''
The videographer identifies himself as David Cohen, ''a freelance photographer/videographer currently living in Jerusalem.'' He reports that ''Seconds after Obama left the stones, some of his entourage stepped up to the wall (dressed in suits) and I recorded a young man gathering notes in his hands in what appeared to be the search for Obama's freshly placed personal note. He is joined by others who unwrap notes and read them. One person [is shown] walking away from the wall with a note that he unwraps as he tries to aggressively block the camera lens.''
Cohen's testimony provides new evidence that suggests that the alleged pilferer, dressed in the garb of a seminary student, may in fact have been a member of Obama's entourage. If so, there would not need to have been an official authorization by the campaign to publish the note. The actual ''pilferer'' may have been working for Obama. This possibility would go a long way to account for the mixed messages emanating from both the Maariv and Obama spokesmen.
It important to emphasize that the alleged pilferer has not been publicly identified, and any connection between him and the Obama campaign, or with Maariv, has not been proven. Nor is it at all certain that filching a prayer note is a criminal offense; the Israeli police have expressed no interest in the case. But publication of the video, with its capture of the suspect's face (at left), is likely to lead to identification of the pilferer.
