The Wailing Wall... I do not know whether to call for a visit - it is individual for everyone. For Jews, of course, it is a shrine and you definitely need to go there. I am a tourist, I was interested from a historical point of view and I did not regret it. Before approaching the Wall, you will pass the checkpoint, then the women must cover their heads, and the men pin bales (disposable ones will be given for free). The space in front of the Wall is divided into "M" and "W", it is more spacious for men, but there are more praying women. I didn't write any notes - it's not our tradition, but I managed to get very close and put my palm on the Wall, amazingly - it's warm, like a human body. I just squeezed my eyes shut and made a wish - a year later it came true. If you are an unbeliever or you are calm about the sights, then you will be bored there. We didn't have much time that time, next time we will try to climb to the mosques. And yet - there are Garbage gates nearby, through which you can leave the city and explore other interesting places. You can also book an individual tour (but this is in Israel itself) and see the tunnels under the Wall. By the way, there are toilets near the square, but they say it's dirty (we haven't been there).
It's a good place! I advise everyone to visit! Security is well organized, politely warned that it is not advisable to do this today! Security is very tolerant and if you do not do desirable actions, then you are very politely warned about it. For example, in order to prevent terrorist attacks, you cannot use a phone near the Wailing Wall. But no one is shouting at you, there are no hostile actions, they only warn you carefully, and in their native Russian!
A wonderful historical place. I really liked the old town. Merchants accept any currency. There are many pilgrims from all over the world. At the border, if the border guards do not like something, they may not be allowed into the country.
You can only come with your shoulders covered. You can also write a note in advance and put it on the wall. Because of the military actions, there are few people - 2 years ago it was crowded here.
An incredible place with an amazing history. The Wailing Wall is a remnant of the Second Jewish Temple destroyed by the Romans. There is a high probability that Jesus touched her.
He has been conducting his report since 19 BC
. A sacred place for Jews.
A super popular tourist attraction.
It's an amazing place. It is better to see it with your own eyes once than several times on the screen of any device.
I recommend.
The Wailing Wall is the main place of pilgrimage for Jews, the very wall that is covered with white dots like snow, these are billions of notes with requests and pleas of people.
To get to the wailing wall and implement your note, which you definitely need to think about in advance (i.e. formulate and write down your requests in advance, and not in a hurry), you need to stand in a rather long queue, usually for hours and under the scorching sun, it all depends on the time of year and season.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, take sunscreen accessories, high SPF cream, and drink plenty of water.
The Wailing Wall is divided into 2 parts: the left is male, the right is female.
It still remains a mystery why the queue on the left is always many times larger than the queue on the right?))))))
How can I tell you?....You just have to be here.... to feel with your Heart, with your Soul... That's the only way.... And Faith works wonders!!!! I know that for sure!!!! I thank the universe for everything!!! And God!!!!
The main shrine for Jews. The wall of the ancient temple. She is also connected with Jesus, since he visited this temple. The object is also interesting as a historical landmark. There are archaeological excavations and a museum nearby.
A famous place in the old town. Sacred to all Jews. For the rest, it's just a landmark. You can put a prayer note in the wall. In my 2020, there were a lot of white tents spoiling the view, near the wall. Security guards inspect the entrance.
This is an amazing energetically strong place!everyone needs to visit here.A little life hack: come later before closing, at this time large tour groups are already leaving!
In fact, this fragment of the wall is part of the Western Wall surrounding the Temple Mount, where the Temple of Solomon was located. The Arabs, watching the Jews crying (mourning the destruction of the Temple) called this place the Wailing Wall.
You need to visit this place to understand the feelings that a person feels when standing next to the Western Wall... It's getting so good that I don't want to leave the Wall. There is a pleasant aroma coming from the Wall and it is not from the shrubs growing out of the Wall. There are a lot of people crowding around the Wall, from tourists to orthodox Jews conducting their rituals, and at the same time no one bothers anyone, everything is very respectful and harmonious. There are also priests who speak many languages (these are not guides, but rabbis), ready to give you explanations on issues related to the history of religion. I witnessed the bar mitzvah ceremonies (initiation when a boy turns 13) held at the Wall - it's very interesting.
It is said: "As long as the Wall stands, you will feel Me"
There is nothing special on the female half, but on the male half you can go inside and see at what depth the wall begins, and so in general everything is cool.
There is nothing special, except for a large number of people, especially on Friday evening, when the Sabbath (my first impression). Of course, if you believe the ancient scriptures, then this is the remaining wall of the oldest temple for which Jews cry to this day (one of the versions of the guide, which has not been verified by me personally), so it is difficult to get to the wall, especially on Shabbat. To believe or not to believe that the requests will come true, from the note that people put in the cracks of the wall, I do not want to say, but there is something inexplicable in this scientifically. More of a yes than a no whoever wants something for himself will do so ... Or won't it?! The Almighty forces exist, but no one can prove or disprove this.
A holy place, what else can you say. It takes your breath away from what you see, it's a pity that the stones can't talk, you could learn a lot of interesting things
Amazing place!!! Powerful energy!!! I've been to the wall five times. Even if you are not a Jew, it is not shameful to stand against the wall and touch history.
The place is certainly amazing, the energy is simply unimaginable. People come up, pray, put notes in the walls.. It is absolutely necessary to visit here. Jerusalem fascinates with its beauty and spirituality
A holy place. It is said that the Cauldron (i.e., the "wall" in Hebrew) still has a special Divine presence ("Shechina"). May the Almighty help everyone who comes with a pure heart in his needs!
It is better to come here in early spring or autumn, in summer the sun and heat are very blinding, it will be difficult to stand in queues and a huge number of tourists
It's beautiful, but it's hard to stuff papers, there's not much space. I suggest you go there as if you were in the past. You can get lost the first time.
The place is grandiose, I think that every Christian should visit it, make a wish as it is quite difficult there, a lot of people, especially local Orthodox Jews, who read their prayers there for a long time, mb I am so lucky, a memory for a lifetime....
The best place in the world. There is a fir tree in the air. A pleasant atmosphere. Millions of people received answers after prayers at this place. Peace to Jerusalem🙏
I did not expect that I would get some strange pleasure from visiting this place. We were there twice on purpose. It was interesting and somehow "deep" or something. And Jews have nothing to do with it, by the way, although the lion's share of the color was created by them.
I liked the unforgettable sight on Friday evening, I made two wishes -a good job and a grandson, I have a granddaughter, I got a job, I'm still waiting for my grandson, If I have the opportunity, I'll come again
