Did you notice that in the clips of the Kotel Hamaravi at the 2:15 mark you can clearly see inscriptions in the Kotel itself made by pilgrims to mark their Aliyat Haregel to Jerusalem.
If you look today at the kotel, about 3 rows up (to ground level 1918) you can faintly see the remains of such inscriptions.
Very cool.

Gevald! Where's the mehitza at the Kotel?
ReplyDeleteI like that tag, 'Street Scenes of Modern Jerusalem'. If only they could have known what the city would grow to look like!
ReplyDeleteBased on this I believe R' Amnon Yitchak would ban going to the Kotel in 1918.
