Jerusalem, Israel: Western Wall/Wailing Wall; things to do

Western Wall/Wailing Wall

This holiest site of Judaism, the Western Wall/Wailing Wall is the last remnant of the walls that once enclosed the Temple Mount. The wall is separated into male and female sides. People of all religions come here to pray and insert tiny papers bearing requests and prayers into crevices in the wall. You can check it out live via webcam.
