A Holy Siesta at the Western Wall

Scott Walker May 9, 2018

Some pray at the site of the Western Wall… Some catch a holy nap on the Shabbat.

The Western Wall in Jerusalem is also referred to as the Wailing Wall. The site received the nickname allegedly by visitors who watched in silence as they witnessed Jewish people weeping at the location due to the destruction of the Jewish Temple. Jewish people simply call it “The Western Wall” or “The Wall.”  

The wall is the western wall of the Temple Mount. It is also a symbol that God is near us, but a wall representing our sins separates us from him.
