Walls. We build so many structures that we don't even think about what is that a wall actually does and what it can mean. Walls protect us, they divide us from wind, weather, and each other. So one thing I noticed when I was in Israel was how important there walls are. The first photo is of a woman crying at the Western wall. It is also called the wailing wall. There is a very good reason for this: people while praying and sobbing to the wall. It is strange that the place that is considered the most sacred sight in all of the Jewish Faith, but it so public outside surrounded by tourist. That is how they pray. They go to the Platform of what was once Solomon's Temple and they pray, in most Jewish person can not go to the Temple mount. Because that is where the Dome of the Rock in and also because they don't want to be stepping were the "holy of holies" was. On top of this temple platform yards away from the most sacred sight in the Jewish belief is the 3rd most sacred sight in the Muslim community. So they stay at the wall.



The next photo shows the wall between Palenstine and Israel it is a stark contrast to the first wall. This is a photo of the wall that at one level stops war. Since it's construction suicide bombing have completely dropped away.
