\fR oo m-hāk\ n. Any application of ingenuity for those who are committed to observe the 613 Mitzvot. [ORIGIN: Yiddish פֿרום (frum|fR oo m) meaning "commited to observe the 613 Mitzvot, or Jewish commandments" and the English Slang term HACK (hāk|hak) or LIFEHACK (līf-hāk|lahyf-hak) meaning "anything that solves an everyday problem in a clever/non-obvious way or an appropriate application of ingenuity"]

There are a zillion things you can do on Twitter – which makes the service so powerful – but every now and then a new idea sprouts up, managing to surprise us. The last one on the list? Twitterprayers.

The Western Wall in Jerusalem (also known as the Kotel) is a place where believers place notes with their prayers. But what if you’re far from Jerusalem? This problem is solved by an Israeli student called Alon Nir, which opened a Twitter account, twitter.com/thekotel, where you can send prayers which will then be posted to the Western Wall.
