Western Wall

 
This is a photo of the Western Wall. The foundation stones are all that remains of the Second Temple that was the center of worship in First Century AD. It is the Holiest place for Judaism. Jews pray here and place prayers in the cracks in the wall. Many come from all over the world to celebrate Bar Mitzvah. The western wall is a place of worship during Sabbath. Just above the Western Wall is the Temple Mount where the Dome of the Rock is located. This place really is the point where Judaism & Islam intersect.
