(IsraelNN.com) Secretary Shlomo Didi of the Rabbinical Court of Tiberias, Muhamad Dahamshe - the Imam of Kafr Kana, and Scottish rite Priest Ian Clark offered prayers for rain Monday, at the shores of Lake Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee), according to Ynet. The water level of the lake is 214.35 meters below sea level, a meter below one of the Israel Water Authority's red lines for a short supply. Rains so far this season have provided very little relief from the draining of the lake, Israel's largest source of fresh water.

The prayer idea was proposed by the city's Scots Hotel. Each clergyman prayed in turn, according to his creed and those assembled answered "Amen," even if they did not understand. Rabbi Didi, who was born in the hotel, was hesistant at first, but decided in the end that the joint prayer for such a lofty goal was a good idea. He quoted from Psalm 145 "The Lord is close to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth."

Imam Dahamshe explained, "The source of the three religions is one G-d, so if we all make the request and live in peace together, G-d will answer." He added, "I asked G-d that He give people the strength to live together, that people will stop starving another people, and if we do that, G-d will stop starving all of us."

Priest Clark, who normally does not reside in Israel, said "As one coming in from the outside, I can't carry the actions of all those who live here on my shoulders, so my prayer focused on a request that the good Lord bring down rain for us."

Rabbi Didi said, "The status of the Kinneret concerns and affects all of us. It's most impressive that the three of us  could share prayer time, each one from his own perspective, and I hope we will do this again in the future."
