The Kotel
The Western Wall, or Wailing Wall is the most holy place for modern-day Jews, as well as a place of prayer for Christians. We were there on Shabbat, or Sabbath, so we were not allowed to take pictures closer than this. The actual stretch of wall where the people pray is between the far wall and the sloping covered walkway that goes up to the (Arab held) Temple Mount. On the lower right, you can see a new excavation, where they are seeking to uncover lower levels of the remains of 2 ancient temples that once stood here.
