A new iPhone application called "Send a Prayer" allows users to enter personal prayers into their mobile phones, then send them to a rabbi in Jerusalem who will print the prayers out, and put them on the Western Wall (or Wailing Wall) in time for Yom Kippur, a major Jewish holiday.
On its homepage, "Send a Prayer" says the application is,
"the only iPhone app that puts you directly in touch with God."

Users can also share their prayers with friends via email, and will soon be able to put up their prayers on Facebook and Twitter.
The 99-cent app, which is available on the iTunes store, was produced by Chabad.org, a Jewish web site, and was developed by Munera.
According to the New York Post, the app has been particularly popular in New York City.
More than 1,000 prayers have been sent on a virtual pilgrimage since the app was launched before Rosh Hashanah -- 10 percent of them from the New York City area.
Users can also send a prayer to the grave of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson , a prominent Hasidic rabbi, who was buried in Cambria Heights, Queens. A rabbi in Queens prints and delivers prayers.
