Now You Can TWEET Your Prayers!

If you want your prayer posted on Jerusalem's Western Wall, you can Tweet it and volunteers will print it out and post it.   Discover Magazine reports that the service was started by a 25-year-old economist who "started the Twitter page three weeks ago and has already received hundreds of prayers."

The official Tweet Your Prayers website is http://www.tweetyourprayers.info – someone apparently bought the .com domain as soon as the idea showed up on Twitter.

Are the prayers answered?   Some believe that by posting their prayers on the 2000-year-old structure in Jerusalem, they are getting a shortcut to an audience with God.   But the Tweet Your Prayers FAQ has a disclaimer which is pretty much what atheists have been saying all along:

There is absolutely no guarantee if, when and how your prayers will be answered. It's up to you to decide what to do with your life, and to what extent you wish to rely solely on praying. We   strongly advise you take active measures to achieve whatever it is you wish for.

Over at Twitter, you can see some of the prayers and tweets.   Apparently, the prayer service (@thekotel) is experiencing computer problems with trying to keep up with the volume of messages.   Writes BrinaM @TheKotel "Please Hashem can you make a computer fast enough to deal with all these prayers?!"

If they can't keep up, you can always get some prayer software (see the description at the end of the article).
