The Western Wall, The Wailing Wall , The Kotel, is the most significant site in the world for the Jewish people. All Jews from around the world gather there to pray.
According to Jewish tradition, the place, that many pivotal events in Jewish history took place is The Mount Mariah. This is also where Adam, the first human, was created. In this place Abraham was commanded to prepare his son Isaac for sacrifice, And also the place that Jacob’s dream with angels going up and down a ladder.
And of course the places where the Jewish people build the First Temple by king Shlomo and Second Temple by Herod. The Kotel is just part of a big renovation project.
The Western Wall is the western support wall built during this widening of the Temple Mount Plaza.
The Second Temple was destroyed in the year 70 CE. For the generations since the Temple’s destruction, the Western Wall was the remnant closest to the site of the Temple’s Holy of Holies that was accessible to Jews.
The Kotel became a place of prayer and yearning for Jews around the world. The image of Jerusalem was conveyed via the image of the Kotel.
In 1948, the Kotel with the Jewish Quarter of the Old City fell to Jordanian hands to 19 long years of Jordanian rule, and Jews were not able to reach the Wall and pray in front of its ancient stones. All that possible was to climb up to Mount Zion and glance at the Wall from a distance.
