You’re probably aware by now that President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are headed to Israel next week.

Visitors to Israel traditionally make a stop at the Kotel (the Western Wall), write a prayer on a small piece of paper and place it in one of the crevices of the wall.

So we’re asking you - when the President is at the Kotel, what should his note say? The President says he is taking a listening tour - we need to make sure he hears from us.

We’ll be delivering your prayers to the consulate in Jerusalem as soon as the President arrives in Israel, so for the rest of his trip he knows the American Jewish community has his back while pursuing peace in the region.
