God's Got Mail
(AP/CTV-Canada) Jews who want to send notes to heaven used to have to travel to Jerusalem and stuff them into the crevices of the Western Wall. Now, they can log onto the Internet and send them by e-mail. The service, announced Monday by Israel's Bezeq telephone company, expands on the company's existing fax service to the Wall, which receives about 200 notes a week and more on holidays. Tradition holds that God will grant the pleas placed between the massive stones of the Wall, a retaining wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple. Bezeq currently takes the faxed notes, puts them in special envelopes and twice a week brings them to the Wall.
