Online or in person, we can still pray well together. We, people of diverse faiths, gather on the first Sunday in February every year to pray for our city.  2021 is the year of CTII's 21st birthday celebration, so we have chosen as our theme: Celebrating the Hope, Healing and Harmony. In recent years our venue has been the poorest areas, as we chose to take the prayers to the people and express solidarity as we prayed together.  Now, we cannot gather in person due to the pandemic, so our friends at the Cape SA Jewish Board of Deputies have generously stepped in to offer data support to people who could not otherwise join because data in South Africa is very expensive and many people have lost their jobs during the economic hardships caused by pandemic lockdown rules. And so we uplift our city, her leadership and her people in a harmonic expression of diverse prayer, poetry, music and wisdoms to energise our resilience and courage for the year ahead, which we face together, side by side.
