Israel's Chief Rabbis: No Problem with Carrying Weapons During Prayer

Prior to the upcoming week long Passover festival, Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rabbi Yonah Metzger and Rabbi Shlomo Amar, reminded the public that there is no prohibition against carrying a weapon during prayers. And it "makes it possible for every home in Israel to celebrate the holidays" in security.


(Me Praying at the Western Wall)






So get out your guns, and bring them to Synagogue, it's holiday time in Israel.

Guns, at the Western Wall

I was at the Western Wall the other day and had my 13 year old son take a few pictures with his camera/phone.


The Western Wall is open to the public. And is usually packed with tourists.


People from all over the world come to pray at the Western Wall.


On any given day you can hear dozens of different languages.


The entire area is well guarded and there are several layers of security. The Police and Border Patrol are there in force. ID checks, carry permit
verification, the works.



Israeli civilians come to pray three times a day.




Yes, even at Judaisms holiest site there are guns.
