Head to the Western Wall, also known as the Kotel, one of Judaism’s holiest places. This ancient limestone wall is the last remaining part of the Second Temple, destroyed in 70 CE. Visitors come here to pray and leave written prayers in the cracks of the wall. It is a powerful place of reflection and connection for Jewish people worldwide.
