with
Hebrew
writing
; The
Western
Wall
(Hebrew
:
translit.
:
HaKotel
HaMa'aravi)
, or
simply
The
Kotel
,
is
a
retaining
wall
in
Jerusalem
that
dates
from the
time
of the
Jewish
Second
Temple
(516
BCE
-
70
CE)
.
It
is
sometimes
referred
to as the
Wailing
Wall
(Arabic
:
il-Mabka)
,
referring
to
Jews
mourning
the
destruction
of the
Temple
. The
Western
Wall
is
part
of the
bigger
religious
site
in the
Old
City
of
Jerusalem
called
Har
ha-Bayit
(the
Temple
Mount)
to
Jews
and
Christians
, or
Al-Haram
al-Qudsi
al-Sharif
(the
Noble
Sanctuary)
to
Muslims
. The
Western
Wall
is
revered
for its
proximity
to the
sacred
Holy
of
Holies
on the
Temple
Mount
,
which
is
the
Most
Holy
Place
in
Judaism
. This
makes
the
Western
Wall
the
holiest
location
in
Judaism
that
is
currently
generally
accessible
to the
Jewish
people
for
prayer
.
