The Corona pandemic causes great suffering throughout the world. Interfaith Encounter Association activists and its sympathizers around the world have decided to hold a joint interfaith prayer led by religious leaders from the Holy Land - a prayer for the good health of the whole of humanity.
On Wednesday, March 25, 2020, Pope Francis urged Christians around the world to pray at noon to overcome the Corona pandemic. On that day, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel called on Jews around the world to pray in the evening for the same purpose. It was especially fitting that on that day we connected the two prayers with interfaith prayer exactly between them.
The prayer was led by Sheikh Jamal Aloubra, the Imam of Rahat; Father Rafik Nahra, Vicar of the Hebrew-speaking Catholics in the country; Rabbi Yakov Nagen, Rabbi at the Otniel Yeshiva, and moderated by Carolina Frimer, Community Director of the Interfaith Encounter Association. The interfaith prayer took place through Facebook with 327 people from all over the world. The video of the prayer has since been viewed by many hundreds of other people and you are also invited.
