1000 Hours at the Kosel1000 Hours Without A Moment's Letup
The forty-days-without-letup tefillah on behalf of Kupat Ha'ir begins at 8:00 on the
eve of Rosh Chodesh Elul and ends after the shofar blast of Ne'ilah.
Forty full days, one thousand consecutive hours without a moment's letup. Bli
neder. (To complete one thousand hours, the messengers will add a day and a half
after Yom Kippur.)
Throughout the tefillah, messengers of Kupat Ha'ir will recite the entire sefer
Tehillim without interruption, and as soon as they finish, a new set of messengers will
begin reciting sefer Tehillimi anew while the first shift begins reciting the names of the
contributors slowly and purposefully, name after name, each with its accompanying
request. When the second sefer is complete, yet a third shift will begin reciting sefer
Tehillim while the shift that just finished will begin reciting the list of names.
This way, there is not even a moment's pause in the recitation of Tehillim, yet
there is still sufficient time to daven and mention the names of all contributors in
an unhurried fashion.
This procedure will be carried out on Shabbos, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
as well, without a moment's letup.
Sefer Tehillim will be recited unhurriedly, in the space of approximately two hours. Beginning on the first night of Selichos all the way through Yom Kippur, Kupat Ha'ir will add an additional shift of Tehillim-reciters, so that 516 tefillos will be recited during the forty-day period (all of sefer Tehillim will be recited 516 times).
516 times, to equal the numerical equivalent of Va'eschanan plus one and storm the gates of heaven. 516 times all of Tehillim. 516 recitations of all names and requests!
The 516th time, the one that has the power to rip apart even the very harshest decrees, will be uttered at the time of chisum hadin, the time of Ne'ilah on Yom Kippur afternoon. Who does not want to stand before the Creator of the world in prayer at that hour?
The messengers are talmidei chachamim, men who are constantly striving to achieve ever greater spiritual heights. They all serve in Torah positions and they are all skilled in the art of prayer. They take their mission very seriously.
