Religious Leaders in Israel Pray for an End to the Pandemic
A multi-faith prayer was conducted at the Baha'i Gardens in the northern Israeli city of Haifa on earlier this week amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
“Upon the request of the Haifa municipalty, a rabbi, a priest, an Imam and the spiritual leader of the Druze community have prayed together for an end to #coronavirus #pandemic,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson to the Arab media, Ofir Gendelman, tweeted on Monday. “That’s part of our joint fight against #COVID19.”
