I can’t remember exactly where and when I first learned about the Wailing Wall. I’m sure it was sometime during my childhood. Being an earnest reader of history books, I came across the fascinating account of Israel, from its birth as a nation in 1948 to the Israeli-Arab Wars and going back to its ancient times. Early on, I was already made aware of its significance as one of the leading emblems of Judaism, and that it also plays an integral role in other religions such as Christianity and Islam.
