What is the Western Wall?

Called the Western Wall, the Wailing Wall, or the Kotel, it's one of Judaism's holiest sites.

[MARINVIEW]

I was kid when I saw this wall for first time and I thought people are peeing on it.

Do not build higher than the Weeping walls or build wider than it, on all sides As So Below As so above.

This track sounds like a mix of B. Fleischmann and Four Tet.

O God of Moses Alleilua protect us against our enemies who persecute and seek to harm or exploit us. In Jesus name I ask for your mercy Lord Alleilua Amen

While I applaud the effort, this clip is very basic and doesn't explain the importance of this site to Jewish law, culture and history. The two national Jewish temples stood on this site starting at almost 1000 BC. The equating of the site as important to both Jews and Muslims does not explain that Muslims pray in the direction of Mecca and Medina and this Mosque is but one of many secondary holy Muslim shrines. Likely it's significance to Muslims was elevated precisely because Jewish people revere it. But Jewish people pray towards the Temple Mount and wailing wall from all over the world and have been doing so for thousands of years.
The issue regarding Reform and Conservative Judaism's interest in having a section for them is an internal Jewish political issue and not of international relevance (though this is a learning clip for Jewish people).
Also, the accompanying music could be toned down a bit.

This is the western wall of regret, when these people realized what they have done and the temple collapsed on their heads, they go to pretend thinking they can fool the lord, but he has a surprise for them.

22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem
31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”

32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ” Luke 13:22-35

Here is an idea on Friday let the Muslims pray and on Saturday let the Jews. It’s holy to both religions, so let’s figure a way for peace in the Middle East. I pray one day children of both faiths can pray and play in peace.

Not a holy site. It is Fort Antonio. God is not a god of fortresses, He is a God of Salvation.

God Bless Israel, but just had to ask about praying at & facing the wall, wouldn't that be a form of idol worship ? The wall may not be a statue or a figurine but the way they use it, That's no different than praying to a statue.
