The Western Wall






















Torah Ark inside the Men's Section of Wilson's Arch




R, M and C went with the guide to the men's side, S, H and I stayed on the women's side of the Western Wall.  The Western Wall or Wailing Wall refers to a small western segment of the walls surrounding the area called the Temple Mount.  The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism and is the place the Jews turn to in prayer and have since the 4th century.
