The holiest of Jewish sites is not a synagogue, but a wall. This does not withhold religious Jews from using the plaza and the wall as an outdoor praying facility and is an excellent place to observe their prayers.
After the inevitable security check, you have to say goodbye to your travel partner if she/he is not from the same sex, and go to the section of your own sex. The women have a noticeably smaller portion of the wall to pray; some of the fundamentalist Jews actually think women should have no place at all to pray here. The men have to put a kippa on their head, paper ones are provided at the entrance. Then, as you approach the wall itself, it is easy to see the different layers used for its construction. The most remarkable sight is, however, the praying Jews: bobbing forwards and backwards, they stand with their face to the wall in utter concentration. At times, they get even closer to the centuries old wall to kiss it, or place a prayer written on a paper in one of the cracks. It is believed that doing this make the prayer more likely to be fulfilled. Being a man has the advantage that you are allowed into the narrow passage on the northern side of the wall, under Wilson's Arch. Once the entrance to the old temple; now, there is a small library, a possibility to pray in shelter from rain or sun, and a small lecture hall.
