The Kotel (Western Wall)

Jerusalem video tour with David Hyman, Israeli professional tour guide. This weeks tour takes us to the holiest site for the Jewish people. The Western wall was part of the second Temple built by King Herod 2000 years ago. It was built as a support retaining wall to create the vast platform needed to house the Temple and other royal and military structures. Our tour will walk us throgh the history of the site, the building and the destruction of the Temple and will explain how this wall became so important to the Jewish people. We will also see families celebrating Bar Mitzvah's at the Western Wall plaza.
Thanks Mr Albert from Holland for allowing to include your interview in this video
