  1. the western wall (the Hebrew name for it is the kotel with is the Hebrew word for wall)was the wall around the Jewish temple to protect it  actually the wall is from the second Jewish temple it was destroyed by the Roman Empire they destroyed it because romans didn't like that the jewish people served a different god  


  2. The wall was built by King Solomon some 3000 years ago.  The temple was destroyed by the Romans looking to steal the treasures within.  It was destroyed in order to propagate the worship of their own pantheon on gods.  About 500 years before Islam was invented.

    Known in the western world as the Wailing Wall, where Jews bemoan the destruction of their temple before the first century BC was over.

  3. A section of the western wall of the temple area, where the Jews assemble every Friday afternoon to bewail their desolate condition (Ps 79:1, 4, 5). The stones in this part of the wall are of great size, and were placed, as is generally believed, in the position in which they are now found in the time of Solomon. "The congregation at the wailing-place is one of the most solemn gatherings left to the Jewish Church, and as the writer gazed at the motley concourse he experienced a feeling of sorrow that the remnants of the chosen race should be heartlessly thrust outside the sacred enclosure of their fathers' holy temple by men of an alien race and an alien creed. Many of the elders, seated on the ground, with their backs against the wall, on the west side of the area, and with their faces turned toward the eternal house, read out of their well-thumbed Hebrew books passages from the prophetic writings, such as Isa 64:9-12" (King's Recent Discoveries). The wailing-place of the Jews, viewed in its past spiritual and historic relations, is indeed "the saddest nook in this vale of tears." (See LAMENTATIONS, BOOK OF.)
