"May He who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses, Aaron, David and Solomon send healing to Donald John, son of Fred," intoned Shmuel Rabinovitch, rabbi of the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest prayer site.
"May the Holy Blessed One overflow with compassion for him, restore him, cure him, strengthen him, enliven him," he said, reciting the traditional prayer for those in ill health, to amens from Israel's two chief rabbis and US ambassador David Friedman.
