In Isaiah 60 we read:

5 Then you shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall be startled and expanded; because the abundance of the west shall be converted unto you, the select of the gentiles shall come unto you.
10 The children of foreigners shall build your walls...
11 Therefore your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that people may bring unto you the select of the nations, and that their leaders may be brought.
Now all the material wealth and all the service that those who separate out of the nations to build up the walls of the holiness of Israel and Jerusalem will bring will in the end turn out to only be bribery and flattery if it is not accompanied with prayers and blessings for Israel and for Jerusalem. But prayers that are offered without understanding of the holiness of Israel cannot be received.
Rabbi Nachman in his teaching entitled, Tzohar, states: “A person must elevate his prayer to the gate of his tribe, because if it reaches the gate of another tribe, it cannot ascend.”
Since gentiles shall labor upon the walls of the holiness of Jerusalem below they shall also elevate the walls of the holiness of Jerusalem above. And for this reason the gates of the walls shall always be open.
It is certain, therefore, that the gentiles who separate out of the nations to build up the walls of the holiness of Jerusalem shall learn the knowledge of the corporate wholeness of Israel, the knowledge of the unity of the twelve tribes, and shall learn to recognize the gate of the tribe where they should each, as various gentiles, attach their prayers of blessing. Only then when they have learned these things will their prayers be holy and received and bring true wealth into the heart of Israel.
