Entrusting a prayer means entrusting what is most intimate. Here is, precisely, what we do with yours — and what we will never do.
Your prayer is encrypted upon sending, then printed automatically — without ever being displayed to anyone. It is folded and closed with a numbered seal before leaving the workshop. No note is ever photographed open.
Your seal number is unique. It is the one you find on your proof: the photo shows your sealed note, number visible, in a crevice of the Wall — with the date and time embedded automatically, impossible to retouch.
Placements are carried out by Torah students in Jerusalem — paid a dignified wage for this mandate, and endorsed by rabbanim. Each round begins with a moment of Torah study in the merit of those whose notes they carry.
No placements, no photos on Shabbat or Yom Tov. Notes for holiday eves are placed before the holiday begins, and you are informed by an automatic message.
An email at every step, and at the end, your proof. Here is an example (fictitious data).
Prayer has no price, and the Kotel belongs to everyone. What you entrust to BaKotel is a mandate: the printing and sealing of your note, a Torah student's journey to the Wall, the timestamped proof, guidance at every step — and support for Torah study in Jerusalem.
