Western Wall in Jerusalem
The Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is Judaisms most Holy site, because it is a remnant of the Herodian retaining wall that once enclosed and supported the Second Temple. It is like an open-air synagogue where Jews gather to pray, read scriptures, celebrate Bar and Bat Mitsvahs, and to welcome in the Sabbath. There is singing and dancing as they parade in. The women gather on the left side and the men on the right side.
