About “Western Wall” in Hebrew
The Kotel (Western Wall) is the last remaining retaining wall of the Second Temple compound and the holiest site where Jews can pray. Millions visit annually, placing written prayers in its ancient crevices. The tradition of inserting prayer notes dates back centuries, and the Wall is a powerful symbol of Jewish perseverance, faith, and the unbroken connection to Jerusalem across millennia of exile.
