Checking the Stability of the Stones in the Western Wall

Before the holiday of Passover, the stability of the Western Wall Stones were checked by engineers. During the examination, objects and debris that were brought by animals to the Western Wall were removed.


This examination is conducted twice a year in order to protect the saftey of the Wester Wall visitors.

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.
