The Wall

While visiting Jerusalem, a well-known Jewish activist went to pray at the Kotel.   At the same time, several American families were celebrating bar mitzvahs simultaneously and crowns were milling around as usual. He noticed a fellow without a kipa turning to his companion and saying, “I just can’t find the family. Do you think there may be another wall?”

There is no mistaking the holiness that exudes from the Wall of the Temple.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
