Three days before the U.S. elections, the Binyamin Regional Council, led by Governor Yisrael Ganz, held a special prayer for the success of the elections in the United States.
The prayer took place in Ancient Shiloh, attended by Governor Yisrael Ganz and hundreds of worshippers who prayed from the site of the Tabernacle for the success of the U.S. elections, in support of the shared values between the American nation and the State of Israel.
In recent years, the Binyamin Council has maintained close connections with senior U.S. officials, including leaders in the Republican Party and associates of Trump, who expressed great appreciation for the initiative. Clips of the prayer from Ancient Shiloh will be broadcast in the coming days at various gatherings in the United States.
Yisrael Ganz, Governor of the Binyamin Regional Council and Chairman of the Yesha Council, who led the prayer, said to his friends in the U.S.,“These elections are crucial for the people of Israel and for the entire world. We pray that the American people succeed in the elections and that the elected leader will be one who recognizes values of justice and morality, connected to the values of the Bible. We pray that whoever is chosen will acknowledge the place of the people of Israel in the Land of Israel, as this is the path to world peace and overcoming the global evil that threatens the free world.”
Reflecting on the event’s significance, Eliana Passentin, International Desk Director of the Binyamin Regional Council, shared her personal connection to the occasion. “As an American-Israeli, I'm proud to be standing here today, praying from the birthplace of prayer for the United States of America. I see the connection between a strong America and a strong Israel.”
