Israel-Day7-Western Wall & Southern Wall


Our lunch friend. I wanted to bring this one home.

The Western (Wailing) Wall on the women's side. It's pretty packed. Women pray, stick their prayers on pieces of paper in the rock, and recite or read the Tanakh. When they are done, they back away from the wall until almost out of the area. It was beautiful to see their love for God's word, very convicting/inspiring. It felt holy for sure.

We visited a national park on the southern side of the Temple Mount. The Mt of Olives can be seen behind me.

More views of the southern side of the Temple Mount.
