New wheelchairs have been made available by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation for people with disabilities visiting the Kotel.
Many elderly people and others with disabilities and difficulty walking come to the Western Wall. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation has now made wheelchairs available to them to make their visit to the Western Wall easier. The wheelchairs were placed in the booth at the gate for car entry so that users can take them and return them easily at the end of their visit without having to arrange this in advance. This service is part of the Western Wall Heritage Foundations array of actions meant to make the Western Wall accessible to all segments of the population.
