About 2,500 students from Netanya came to Jerusalem in honor of their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Students from all of the city’s schools came to commemorate this special occasion, which revolves around such an important milestone. The students toured the sites of Jerusalem’s Old City and visited the Western Wall. Through their experiences they connected with the city’s history and learned about their own significant links in the Jewish Chain of Generations.

Interesting Facts
The Western Wall Plaza hosts approximately 60,000 people. It symbolizes the Jewish link to Jerusalem and serves as the synagogue closest to the remains of both Holy Temples.
The Western Wall's visible stones tell of its history from the time of the Holy Temples' ruin. The original Herodian stones are distinct from the others in size and in their unique borders.
The building style of "grading" used when layering the Western Wall's stones, teaches us that the Temple Mount's walls were not perpendicular but marginally sloping.
