The Israel Post Office has a “Letters to God” department in Jerusalem that receives about 1,000 letters a year. The Israeli Post Office separates letters addressed to God and the letters are placed in the cracks of the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall. The letters are eventually removed from the wall to make room for new ones and are buried in the ground. The Chief Rabbi of the Western Wall oversees the process. Letters addressed to God and sent to Jerusalem find their way to the “dead letter office.” The letters are usually not read, but are simply delivered to the Wailing Wall, which also hosts the prayers of the millions who visit it each year. The Western Wall is the temple wall built by Solomon. The temple was destroyed in 586 BC and the remaining wall is believed to be sacred architecture. Jerusalem is a holy and important city for all Abrahamic traditions.
