"Supplicants to God now have a new method of reaching the Almighty - via email.
Israel's Bezeq telecommunications company announced today that it is opening an email service for those who have a special request from God, and is thus expanding its existing service of faxing notes to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
By tradition, Jews seeking special favours from God write these requests on slips of paper which they place in between the huge stones which make up the wall, part of Judaism's holiest site.
The tradition says God will grant these pleas.
Bezeq started its fax service to the Western Wall several years ago and says it now receives about 200 faxes per week from around the world, although the number can double or triple as holidays or special events approach.
Company employees put the requests in a special envelope and take them to the Wall twice a week.
Bezeq said it was starting the new service because more people now have access to email than to faxes.
The address of the service is kotel@onemail.bezeq.com or faxed to 972 2 561 2222."
