Description
"Prayers and Shadows" fill the Western Wall in Jerusalem as the sun goes down on the City of Peace. These orthodox Jewish men are offering up prayers to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at The Wall which is the holiest site in Judaism. There are also written prayers tucked into the crevasses of the wall. The Western Wall was a retaining wall that surrounded The Jewish Temple before it was destroyed in 70 A.D.. Today Jews and Christians alike go to The Wall to pray personal prayers as well as to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
