Wonderful infographic showing everything so clearly! Kol Tuv.

great information about the wall

My trip is just 2 weeks so I won't be able to do the 40 day thing..i needed to do that several years ago...but I will tell my son how my Dad (his grandpa) descends from the kohanim who prayed there....He will be amazed by it I'm sure. My first trip to the Wall was as a child with my Dad (a kohane) in 1972..May he rest in peace now..I will go there and pray for his soul and for messiah to come so he can live again. Amen

I personally took a few months off from my work to pray at the kottel for 40 days. Not only did I get my long awaited wish answered immediately, but also I feel it is my biggest accomplishment in life. I established a one on one personal relationship with G-d, and that remains with me all the time, through my ups and downs of life. Thanks for all the info, but I think the most important is that you feel Hashem's Presence there like nowhere else.

Wonderful article

They make terrific posters for the (home)schoolroom.

I would like to see a muslim person's comment(s) on this article. Remember, we Jews have no historical connection to the Western Wall or the Temple mount or to Jerusalem.

On what basis do you make such an egregious comment? Didnt' this article just explain our historical connection? Or do you believe the Tanach - in which Moslems also believe - is entirely fiction? Or - hopefully - you are just being sarcastic? At any rate, there is plenty of archelogical evidence for the Jewish connection with Jerusalem - some of which they are busy destroying, the rest of which they are busy denying.

I think he or she was spoofing that egregious claim asserted by Hamas and too many other such organisations . At any rate , I perceived irony .

The comment was clearly sarcastic, as the commenter was 'challenging' those moslems who deny our connection to the Wall and to Jerusalem. But, rest assured, even the facts presented in this article would not succeed in convincing them; those with an agenda are not persuaded by facts. As the famous saying goes, 'A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still'.

EVERY reader should send this on to everybody on his or her mail list.

I am a Christian.
I share the desire for Jerusalem (and the Temple) to be restored, forever, as the spiritual and political capitol for Jews and of Judaism.
May our God, in his infinite mercy and grace, permit it to happen.

Thank you for the history and presentation. The whole wide world needs to know the information that is contained within this power point view. Excellent!

Perfect summary in a clear, concise, and understandable format. Excellent! Great pictures, graphs, and comments. All we need to know in just a couple of minutes!
