I have received a number of emails asking me to post this request for people worldwide to say Shema simultaneously in order to "beseech Hashem for divine assistance to nullify the disengagement". Let's hope that it helps!
The wording is a bit ambiguous but it appears that there will be two rallies - one on Wednesday night and another on Thursday evening for children.
AN APPEAL HAS BEEN MADE TO EVERY JEW AROUND THE WORLD TO SIMULTANEOUSLY READ THE FIRST LINES OF THE SHEMA THIS WEDNESDAY THE 3RD OF AUGUST - 27TH TAMMUZ.
WE ARE BESEECHING HASHEM FOR DIVINE ASSISTANCE TO NULLIFY THE "DISENGAGEMENT"
THE PRAYER WILL BE RECITED AT 9 P.M. WEDNESDAY AT THE KOTEL IN JERUSALEM, AND 2 P.M. IN NEW YORK. CALCULATE THE CORRESPONDING TIME IN YOUR OWN CITY.
(Sydney & Melbourne = 4:00am Thursday morning)
CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD ALSO ARE BEING ASKED TO PRAY TOGETHER THE FOLLOWING NIGHT, ONE DAY BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW HEBREW MONTH OF AV.
