Statement by Western Wall and the Holy Places Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz

Statement by Western Wall and the Holy Places Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz on the
Visit of US President Donald Trump to the Western Wall

"For the very first time in history, the Western Wall Heritage Foundation
staff and I have been given the privilege to host the President of the
United States, Mr. Donald J. Trump, his wife Melania, his daughter Ivanka,
and her husband Jared - here at the Western Wall Plaza.

In the name of the entire Jewish people and in the name of all citizens of
the State of Israel, I would like to thank the President of the United
States and his family for the great honor they have given me and the Jewish
nation by visiting this sacred site.

The visit of the United States President, Mr. Donald Trump, at the Western
Wall, exactly 50 years after it was liberated, is a clear-cut statement on
the Western Wall’s historical significance. It is a clear-cut statement on
the array of exciting Jewish archaeological remnants that have been found
here, at the foot of the Western Wall. These remnants bear witness to the
3,000-year-old connection of the Jewish nation with Jerusalem. It is a
clear-cut statement on the spiritual message that emanates from our nation’s
capital to the entire world.

I believe that leaders of religions around and the world and their
emissaries have the power to support an atmosphere of reconciliation, of
solidarity, and of peace among all nations. In our area, such an atmosphere
is crucially necessary and we maintain it here in Jerusalem every single
day. Following this visit, we call on everyone to join forces and work for
peace among all nations.

We gave the President a souvenir – a special book of Psalms with his name.
We prayed together, here at the Western Wall, that this book of Psalms
should safeguard him and illuminate his path so that he may safeguard us and
the entire world.

I pray that this book, whose psalms were written, composed, and sung in
Jerusalem, will accompany the President and serve as a beacon.

May He who makes peace on High, may He make peace for us and for all of
Israel, and let us say - Amen."
