Kotel: Marble

2002 – 2003

“...Where the Holy Temple, Beit HaMikdash stood has always been considered the ;'shortest route;' to God's ear. Certainly, prayers said in any part of the world will reach G-d. G-d's Presence;' in this world was and still is situated specifically in this holy place. ..”

Chaim Cohen

The Kotel, the Western Wall, is a section of the western supporting wall of the Temple Mount which has remained intact since the destruction of the Second Temple (70 C.E.). It became the most hallowed spot in Jewish religious and national consciousness and tradition by virtue of its proximity to the Western Wall, of the Holy of Holies in the Temple, from which, according to numerous sources, the Divine Presence never departed. It became a center for mourning over the destruction of the Temple and Israel's exile, on the one hand, and of religiousF;national communion with the memory of Israel's former glory and the hope for its restoration, on the other.
