In honor of the upcoming July 4th holiday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited the Kosel on Tuesday morning alongside his wife, Janet Huckabee, for a time of reflection and prayer.
The visit began with a heartfelt prayer of thanks, recited together with Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, rov of the Kosel, and Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. They gave thanks to God for the miracles bestowed upon the Jewish people and the State of Israel during Operation Rising Lion.
During their time at the site, a special prayer was offered for the continued success and welfare of President Donald Trump, as well as for peace and security in both Israel and the United States.
After the prayers concluded, the ambassador joined Rav Rabinowitz for a more personal conversation in the rov’s office. The rov used the opportunity to express appreciation for the ambassador’s unwavering backing—and that of President Trump—of Israel and the Jewish people, especially during recent events.
Rav Rabinowitz handed the ambassador a personal letter addressed to the President, expressing heartfelt thanks and admiration. He also extended an invitation for the ambassador to return soon for an official visit to the Kosel.
Concluding his time at the site, Ambassador Huckabee toured the archaeological excavations beneath the Kosel.
