Today! 11:00AM EST Unity Prayor for Moshiach

A video promoting the campaign of a simultaneous worldwide prayer for Moshiach,  today, September 23, 2012, Tishrei 7, 5773.

Scheduled for Israel Time 17:00, New York 11:00am, Los Angeles 8:00am, Paris 17:00, Sydney 1:00 Sept 24, etc.

In general, it is important to have our Rebbe'em, Rabbonem and Roshei Yeshivos' guidance in all that we do. We at Gruntig could not verify which Rabbonim are supporting this campaign. However it probably couldn't hurt to participate.
