Webcams at the Wailing Wall
Nearby houses were demolished, people were resettled, and the site was cleared.
This site is considered a synagogue and it contains the requirements for visiting the synagogue - a covered head, separate places for prayer for men and women.
There are rabbis and ministers who, in particular, take prayer notes out of the slots when they are full.
These notes are not destroyed, but buried.
More than a million notes - prayer requests - are received annually. Today, Wall of Tears replaces the temple in some way. This is the place of the united prayer of the Jews.
It is this section of the wall that is chosen because it is closest to the place where the Holy of Holies was.
There is an opinion that the crying wall is made of the stones of the temple. In fact, these are not stones of the temple, but the original stones of the "wall" around the temple, which King Herod the Great erected. If you look at the masonry, you will notice a difference in the sizes of the lower rows of stones and the upper ones. The upper, smaller stones were laid much later and only the lower ones were large - the original stones of the times of King Herod the Great.
