In this way, I will be able to continue to do my work of uploading to TH-cam. Upon your request and in return I am very much happy to pray for you at the Western Wall and/or light a candle in your name at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or anywhere else in the Holy Land of Israel.

The Western Wall, or “Wailing Wall”, is the most religious site in the world for the Jewish people. Located in the Old City of Jerusalem, it is the western support wall of the Temple Mount. Thousands of people journey to the wall every year to visit and recite prayers. These prayers are either spoken or written down and placed in the cracks of the wall. The wall splits into two sections, one area for males and the other for females. It is one of the major highlights in any tour of the Old City.
King Herod built this wall in 20 BCE during an expansion of the Second Temple. When the Romans destroyed the temple in 70 CE, the support wall survived. For hundreds of years, people prayed in the small area of the wall that could be seen. In 1967, following the Six-Day War, Israelis dug below the ground of the wall, exposing two more levels. They also cleared the area around the wall to create the Western Wall Plaza that visitors see today.
The site is open to all people and is the location of various ceremonies, such as military inductions and bar mitzvahs. The Western Wall is free and is open all day, year-round. Women and men should dress modestly in the Western Wall Plaza. To pray at the wall, women should have their legs and shoulders covered. Men should cover their heads.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water, and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us.
Different traditions identify different primary components of Shacharit. Essentially all agree that pesukei dezimra, the Shema Yisrael and its blessings, and the Amidah are major sections. Some identify the preliminary blessings and readings, as a first, distinct section. Others say that Tachanun is a separate section, as well as the concluding blessings. On certain days, there are additional prayers and services added to shacharit, including Mussaf and a Torah reading.

Shalom Zahi! My husband was thrilled to see the inside of the arch leading to the Yeshiva. He got to go in during our tour in 1994. I being a mere woman was not allowed, but, I digress.
You showed the children singing and facing the wall being lead by a black jacketed Rabbi. When my husband was at the wall, right about where that Rabbi was standing, a silver haired Rabbi approached him and asked him if he had a Hebrew name. My husband told him that he did not have one. Before, he could tell the kind Rabbi that he was not Jewish, the Rabbi said with a big smile, I will give you one! My husband was blown by the honor that the Rabbi was giving him. The Rabbi turned to the wall, prayed in Hebrew. Then turned and put his hands on my husbands head and prayed in Hebrew. When he was finished he told my husband that his name was Abraham Isaac! My husband had been taking a video. Out of respect he pointed it down, but forgot to turn it off.
He could not wait to show it too me later. Out of 24 hours of video that he took of our visit. That tape was the only one that turned out to be blank. So he lost the record of this blessed event. He also has been unable to find video or pictures of the spot that he got blessed by that Rabbi When he saw your video, he remembered where it happened. Right about where that Rabbi was standing at the wall. Thank you Zahi, you made my husband very happy!
What a great story. I'm bo happy that I helped you
