Longing to Return
Although I am not a Jew, my visit to Jerusalem and to the Wall were high points of my life. Truly, I was more moved than I expected to be and although I visited the holy places of my own Christian traditon, I also prayed at the wall and was surprised at the power of that spiritual experience. I felt so close to G-d there. I have longed to return ever since. I support and pray always for the people of Israel and for peace in that region. I was warmly welcomed and helped by many.
Great Feeling
i love israel and the jewish people
The Kotel is more than a relic of the past
Israel is currently under the threat of extinction. Its legitimacy is questioned by even former former Allies, and its citizens are split into secular and religious sects. The Kotel is a unifying factor. It is a source of strength and meaning to the Mourners and also the Celebrants of joyous events. It unifies all with the feeling of praying to G-d in his chosen site. If all Jews can feel they are one people, praying to one G-d, they may become entitled to G-d's assistance to be able to be victorious over their enemies, and live in Peace.
