The Kosel – Place of Yechidah [#15667]

October 9, 2021

QUESTION:

During these days of quarantine [Tishrei 5781] where all public places in Eretz Yisrael are shut down should a person try to daven at the Kosel, for Yomim Noraim and Succos? Or should a person remain davening at home because that is where he can find the “Yechidah” as the Rav explains?

ANSWER:

It is worthwhile to make the effort of trying to get to the Kosel during these days, but make sure to be joyous and have emunah. At the Kosel, the light of the Yechidah shines more openly, because the Kosel is connected with Mashiach (the light of the Yechidah): הנה זה עומד אחר כתלנו , “Behold, he stands after our wall.”
