The Western
Wall is all that remains of the destroyed First and Second Temples from
ancient times.
As my
colleague Larry put it: "Seeing Jews, who have been so oppressed
for so long, pray together as a family at the Wall... it's the most
beautiful thing I've ever seen."
Here are a
few images from the Wall, taken by myself and others on the Great Lakes
Jerusalem Program. Notice the dividing fence -- it separates the
men's section from the smaller women's section. Note also the six
Stars of David, symbolizing the 6 million Jews who perished in the
Holocaust.
