Rabbis and Christian leaders are calling for a unified national day of prayer as the Israel-Hamas war enters its second month. About 200 Israelis are believed to be held hostage in Gaza.
Christian leaders and rabbis are calling for Monday, Nov. 6, to be a 'National Day of Prayer for Israel' as the country marks the 30th day after the Oct. 7 massacre. Rabbi Yehuda Glick, a former member of Israel's Knesset, wrote a letter addressed to Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, and Rabbi David Lau, the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, calling for unified prayer for the sake of the country, reported the website Israel365.
