Jerusalem, Israel - Apr. 9, 2024 - On Rosh Chodesh Nissan in Yerushalayim, a special program at the Yeshurun Central Synagogue attracted hundreds of women from the north and south of Israel, as well as from the US.
"Women United in Prayer for Am Yisrael" was led by dynamic singer Ricka Razel with her daughter Michal and female musicians. Her brothers Aaron and Yonatan Razel are popular Israeli singers. But when Ricka stated after having eight children and running a business that when she reached her forties she had a kind of mid-life crisis and thought, “I’m going to be a grandmother soon, my life is basically over; I need to follow my passion! I knew that my real passion in life was to write music, and I began to go back to my songs." She began singing for women-only audiences.
Sivan Rahav Meir was the featured speaker for Rosh Chodesh Nissan.
Hundreds of women and girls filled the shul for the event which went over two hours with prayer and song. Besides Hallel, the songs and words were tefilos for hostages, soldiers, and refuah for all of Am Yisrael.
