Illustration Described: greyscale, wall, people mourning, wailing, The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel (Hebrew: 
הַכֹּתֶל הַמַּעֲרָבִי ), translit.: HaKotel HaMa'aravi; Ashkenazic pronunciation: Kosel; Arabic: حائط البراق, translit.: Ḥā'iṭ al-Burāq, translat.: the Buraq Wall, or al-Mabka: the Place of Weeping) is an ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.
It is a relatively small segment of a far longer ancient retaining
wall, known also in its entirety as the "Western Wall". The wall was
originally erected as part of the expansion of the Second Jewish Temple by Herod the Great, which resulted in the encasement of the natural, steep hill known to Jews and Christians as the Temple Mount,
in a large rectangular structure topped by a huge flat platform, thus
creating more space for the Temple itself and its auxiliary buildings. Read more...
