This didn't get a lot of coverage in the news, even though much smaller gatherings have been extensively reported. Is it because this group of people just prayed quietly instead of running amok?

Very beautiful. I hope there weren't any hecklers spoiling such a solemn occasion.

I just want to let every Jewish Freeper here know, I proudly support Isreal and the Jewish people around the world! I can't make it to those peaceful gatherings in the flesh, but I'm there in spirit. God Bless Israel and the USA!!

[Jeff Head]

Glad they are doing it. There is great power in prayer ... in rightous faith.

I pray we send this message to all terrorists:

50,000 people? Why to go!

[A Navy Vet]

Another example of the peaceful intent of Judaism versus the imperialist aggressive actions of Islam.
What is wrong with this world?

[Catspaw]

Alouette, what a beautiful sight!

[reflecting]

To the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jaccob, to the Creator of the universe.

[Alouette]

To whom do they pray?

To G-D; Eternal Creator and Ruler of the Universe.

Well now a name is tricky; He once told a fellow to tell some folks that "I am" has sent you. Some use the name Jehovah, some Yahweh, mostly He is described rather than named, things like All mighty, The God who Delivers, The God who Provides, The God who Heals, such descptions as those among others.

YHWH, read aloud as ha-Shem, also known as Master of the Universe, aka Adonai Eloheinu="Our Lord" in prayer only...

In Messianic times the original pronunciation of the 4 letters will be restored.

I will gives ya a clue, He aint Allah.

4 years ago in Israel, there was a like demonstration by the ultra-orthodox against the Supreme Court there trying to legistlate from the bench (which they do a lot) with an anti-religious bias (which there is). They had a quarter million people doing nothing but pray and recite psalms(, while a few thousand secularists counterprotested in a very taunting, dissrepectful manner). The point is, not to demand anything political, because in the end God's will will prevail. Therefore, the best way to effect change is to go straight to God.
