He was received by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites, and Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, the director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, who thanked him for his warm and unequivocal support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
During the visit, the Jewish Congressman offered a silent prayer beside the stones of the Wall, was moved to see the central “Yom Kippur Katan” prayer service held every eve of Rosh Chodesh at the Western Wall with the participation of hundreds of worshippers, and toured the Western Wall Tunnels.
