"Where the Sacred Past and Present Meet The Western Wall (also called the Kotel) is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple’s courtyard in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism, outside the Temple Mount itself. The plaza in front of the wall is divided into separate sections for women and men. Some worshipers wedge their prayers, written on small scraps of paper, into crevices between the stones in the wall, while others stand and pray, sometimes for hours. Archeologists have uncovered layers of the wall underground through years of excavation, and via a guided tour, visitors can walk through areas of this original, unrestored site that dates back to the 1stcentury C.E."

Tony is not a religious person, half Jewish and half Catholic, he felt uncomfortable here at the Wall.

The most holy and special place I have ever been to, holy to Jews but also to anyone who wants to connect with our spirituality! It's something in the air that you feel is priceless!

Visiting the Western Wall was a profoundly moving experience. Standing before its ancient stones, I felt a deep spiritual connection — a sense of holiness, history, and prayer that touched my soul. It was a moment of true inner peace and awe.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me. That was over ten years ago. Last year I came back, now religious, and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to come here and daven on behalf of my friends and family.

The holiest place on Earth. The only remaining wall left standing after the Roman destruction of the second temple built by Herod. It has become the beacon for Judaism for the last 2000 years. Jews as well as all monothiests come here to beseech thier creator. One day soon it will be rebuilt to its proper grandeur

It was a holyday eve and half of the floor was closed due to cleaning precess. Me and the kids were excited to see the western wall - the only real memorial of the 2,000 years destroyed temple

The Kotel is pure holiness — a spiritual place kept beautifully, with water, clean bathrooms, and everything maintained just as such a makom kadosh deserves.

Fully spiritual place No matter where you come from the place has so much emotions to it Nothing like touching to wall that was built over 2000 years ago and is unchanged since mind blowing not like any other architectural/ archeological counterpart.

It was great, spiritual, inspirational, historical, Not too crowded in Thursday. Entrance: we went thru a little security checkpoint, there was virtually no wait, took 2 minutes.
