This year, more than ever, we must walk!
Dear Friends,
For the past 26 years, together with you, we have held the ancient tradition of walking around the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem on the eve of Tisha Be’Av, as an expression of the loyalty of the Jewish people to its eternal and united capital.
This year, in the shadow of the difficult events of recent months, the importance of holding the Walk has assumed greater importance. In addition to being an expression of our yearning for the complete unification of Jerusalem and return to the Temple Mount, the Walk is also the necessary Zionist response to all those who object to our sovereignty in Jerusalem.
The cost of organizing the event is high and includes: publicity, production, security, ushers, transportation, Israeli flags, sound system, and more.
The Walk is dependent entirely on your contributions.
Despite the fact that our coffers are empty, we decided that the Walk is too important and therefor are launching a fundraiser to cover the costs.

The minimal cost to run the Walk is 50,000 NIS ($15’300). If we want to also do a massive publicity drive and have live streaming of the event, we will need to raise an even greater amount within the next few days.
And so dear friends and partners, we turn to you and request your partnership in order to enable us to hold the Walk Around the Walls for the 27th consecutive year, without putting us into debt.
Please help us reach our goal and any sum beyond it, will enable us to maximize the event even more.
Every contribution, large or small, is welcome in joy and blessing, on behalf of Jerusalem!
