After entering Jerusalem, we went straight to the Temple Mount, where we spent time at the Wailing Wall. Originally part of the Second Temple (constructed by Herod), this is the closest remaining portion to the old Temple.
Herod's Temple was destroyed in AD 70, and ever since then, Jews from around the world have visited in efforts to be as close to the old Temple as possible.

There are two sections, one for women and one for men. You can approach the wall and and place a written prayer into the cracks.
After placing my own prayer request in the cracks, I joined my group for a tour of the underground tunnels.
