Reflection: When at the wailing wall, you can sense the power of prayer and the deep mourning of the Jewish people over the destruction of the temple. The rabbinical tunnel is like walking through history, and the newly built synagogue is particularly impressive.
Prayer: That we would marvel at the presence of God and appreciate the places in which he made His presence known to us.
The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem is considered the holiest place in all of Judaism. The temple mount is the place where the Biblical temples were built, starting from King Solomon almost 3,000 years ago. The temple was built in 3 phases (Solomon, Zerubbabel, and Herod) and was destroyed by the Romans. The temple was never rebuilt again by the Jews, and replaced by the Muslim shrines in the 8th C AD which stand there today over the ruins of the base of the Roman period temple. The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem is considered the holiest place in all of Judaism.
The Western Wall is a remnant of Herod’s grand temple, and is the most holiest site for Jews. It attracts thousands of Jewish worshippers daily, who come to pray and lay out their problems and seek for heavenly guidance. They feel the presence of God’s spirit, who according to their belief resides for thousands of years in the holy temple.
The tour of the western wall tunnels is one of the most popular tourist sites in Jerusalem. These underground tunnels connect the western wall prayer area to the north-west side of the temple mount, passing along the side of the temple mount and under the present day houses in the Old City. Along its path are remains from the second temple period, as well as structures from later periods. (Source: Biblewalks.com)
