Western Wall of The Temple = Wailing Wall

Do you remember when we discussed King Solomon?  He is best known for ordering the construction of The Temple in Jerusalem.  From years of attacks, only the Western Wall of the original structure remains today.  The location of greatest spiritual significance for Jews, it is also known as the Wailing Wall.  Jews visit the Wailing Wall to give their prayers in the hope they will be answered by God.  Visiting it three times daily (morning, noon and night) is common still today.  Check it out here:
