"Le " Petit mur des Lamentations ", également connu sous le nom HaKotel HaKatan (ou encore Kotel Hakatan), est la continuation de la plus grande partie du Kotel. Il est situé dans un endroit peu fréquenté du quartier musulman, près de la porte de Fer (Iron Gate). Il ne mesure que 5 à 6 m de long et est enclavé dans un petit périmètre en plein air, au milieu des habitations voisines. C'est également un lieu de prière et de nombreux petits papiers sont glissés dans ses interstices."

"19.11.2016 | UNESCO World Heritage The Western Wall (also called the Wailing Wall) is the sole surviving part of the original Jewish Second Temple, which was destroyed by the soldiers of Emperor Titus in 70 C.E. A retaining wall, it is part of the Esplanade of the Mosques/Temple Mount. Texts explaining the survival of the wall vary; one suggests that God saved this fragment for the Jewish people; another holds that Titus left it as a painful reminder of the Roman defeat of Judea. Today, it is traditional for Jews to push slips of paper with wishes or prayers on them into the wall's cracks. Some texts hold that the nearby Dome of the Rock covers the area where the Holy of Holies was located during Temple times, and most Jewish teachings state that the gate of heaven is situated directly above it. Jews are forbidden from entering this area by religious law. There are restrictions on Jewish women praying at the wall. A group called Women of the Wall have, for almost twenty years, been conducting a court battle to secure the right of women to pray out loud at the site, wearing a tallit and reading from the Torah. The site is also of great importance to Islam, whose followers believe that Muhammad tied the winged horse that brought him from Mecca to Jerusalem to the Western Wall. The story goes that an angel then took him to meet Moses, Jesus, and Elijah, and here he saw the destiny awaiting humans after death. This event is marked by the Dome of the Rock shrine looming above the wall. Indeed, the juxtaposition of the Islamic, Jewish, and Christian monuments partly explains why the Old City of Jerusalem is such a mesmerizing place to visit. Although the Wailing Wall is unspectacular in architectural terms, the sight of religious Jews praying fervently at its foot, in such close proximity to the glistening golden dome of the Muslim shrine above it, is quite beguiling."
