The Wailing Wall

We went to the wailing wall on Friday night to welcome in the sabbath with the Jews. This picture was taken just outside Damascus Gate, it leads straight to the Western/Wailing Wall.

After I made my way up to the front to touch the wall, I went to the back of the women's section to dance and sing with everyone! It was really fun.

I couldn't understand a word I was singing!


Since Friday night is spent bringing the sabbath we weren't allowed to take pictures. It was a lot busier on Friday night.

We went back a few days later to snap these.

The dividing wall to keep men and women separate.

I clicked on the bottom picture for a close-up view and am a bit perplexed-- the men all seem legit, but everyone on the women's side looks like a tourist. Or maybe it's just more stylish for men to dress in traditional garb....
