Ask the Almighty is the story of a journey and a promise. A journey that in 2005 was to take me from Mexico to Israel, and a promise I'd made an acquaintance to deliver his prayer directly to the Western Wall. The gentleman to whom I had made my promise was named Octavio, a waiter of modest means, in a restaurant in the Mexican city of Catemaco.

Upon hearing that I was due to visit Israel, Octavio excused himself and ran to the back of the restaurant, only to reemerge a few minutes later with a sealed envelope in hand. When I asked what was in the envelope, he replied that it was a prayer. Octavio had heard of the Western Wall, and the tradition of placing written prayers into the cracks of the wall. As he did not have the means to make the journey himself, he wondered whether I would be willing to complete the journey for him. Naturally I accepted, however circumstance intervened, and I would not make it to Israel until January of 2010, five years after meeting Octavio.

With me as I made the journey, was the envelope I had received years earlier. It was with great pleasure that I finally made my good on my promise and delivered Octavio's prayer directly to the Western Wall, where it was left amongst thousands of other prayers from people just like Octavio. Upon returning home I decided to start the Ask The Almighty service, so that Octavio, and the millions of people like him around the world who had never been able to visit the Western Wall (for reasons like distance, cost, and health) could now share in this powerful and moving custom. Today we have staff that is live in the holy land and ready to deliver your prayers faster than you ever dreamed possible, so you'll never need to wait like Octavio did!
