Visit to the Western Wall





One of the things I have most looked forward to is to stand before the Western Wall in Jerusalem. I had that privilege today. I had previously written out a personal prayer on a small piece of paper, containing the names of all of my family members and asking for blessings upon them. I, of course, had to don a Kippah--the round hat devout Jewish men wear--before approaching the wall. It was a joy to touch the wall, and stand before it for some time meditating and praying. I took the small paper I had brought with me, folded it up and placed it between the cracks of the great Herodian stones.
