Western Wall - Wikipedia It is a relatively small segment of a far longer ancient retaining wall, known also in its entirety as the "Western Wall". In one of several varying Muslim traditions, it is the site where the Islamic Prophet Muhammad tied his winged steed, al- Buraqon his Isra and Mi'raj to Jerusalem before ascending to paradise, and constitutes the eastern border of al-Haram al-Sharifthe Noble Sanctuary of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Because of the Temple Mount entry restrictionsthe Wall is the holiest place where Jews are Weeping Walls to pray, though the Foundation Stonethe most sacred site in the Jewish faith, lies behind it. The original, natural, and irregular-shaped Temple Mount was gradually extended to allow for an ever-larger Temple compound to Weeping Walls built at its top. This process was finalized by Herodwho enclosed the Mount with an almost rectangular set of retaining walls, made to support the Temple platform and using extensive substructures and earth fills to give the natural hill a geometrically regular shape. On top of this box-like structure, Herod built a vast paved platform that surrounded the Weeping Walls. Of the four retaining walls, the western one is considered closest to the former Holy of Holieswhich makes it the most sacred site recognized by Judaism outside the previous Temple Mount platform. Just over Weeping Walls the wall's total height, including its 17 courses located below street level, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, and is commonly believed Weeping Walls have been built by Herod the Great starting in 19 BCE, although recent excavations indicate that the work Weeping Walls not Weeping Walls by the time Herod died in 4 BCE. The very large stone blocks of the lower courses are Herodian, the courses of medium-sized stones above them were added during the Umayyad periodwhile the small stones of the uppermost courses are of more Weeping Walls date, especially from the Ottoman period. The term Western Wall and its variations are mostly used in a narrow sense for the section traditionally used by Jews for prayer; it has also been called the "Wailing Wall", referring to the practice of Jews weeping at the site over the destruction of the Temples. During the period of Christian Roman rule over Jerusalem ca. The term "Wailing Wall" was thus almost exclusively used by Christians, and was revived in the period of non-Jewish control between the establishment of British Rule in and the Six-Day War in The term "Wailing Wall" is not used by religious Jews, and increasingly not by many others who consider it derogatory. The segment of the western retaining wall traditionally used for Jewish liturgy, known Weeping Walls the "Western Wall" or "Wailing Wall", derives its particular importance to it Weeping Walls never been fully obscured by medieval buildings, and displaying much more of the original Herodian stonework than the "Little Western Wall". In religious terms, the "Little Western Wall" is presumed to be even closer to the Holy of Holies and thus to the "presence of God" Shechinaand the underground Warren's Gatewhich has been out of reach for Jews from the 12th century till its partial excavation in the 20th century, even more Weeping Walls. Whilst the wall was considered Muslim property as an integral part of the Haram esh-Sharif and waqf property of the Moroccan Quartera right of Jewish prayer and pilgrimage existed as part of the Status Quo. The earliest source mentioning this specific site as a place of Jewish worship is from the 17th century. From Weeping Walls midth century onwards, attempts to purchase rights to the wall and its immediate area were Weeping Walls by various Jews, but none was successful. With the rise of the Zionist movement in the early 20th century, the wall became a source of friction between the Jewish and Muslim communities, the latter being worried that the wall could be used to further Jewish claims to the Temple Mount and thus Jerusalem. During this period outbreaks of violence at the foot of the wall became commonplace, with a particularly deadly riot in in which Jews were killed and injured. Under Jordanian control Jews were completely expelled from the Old City including the Jewish Quarterand Jews were barred from entering the Old City for 19 years, Weeping Walls banning Jewish prayer at the site of the Western Wall. This period ended on June 10,when Israel gained control of the site following the Six-Day War. Three days after establishing control over the Western Wall site, the Moroccan Quarter was bulldozed by Israeli authorities to create space for what is now the Western Wall plaza. Weeping Walls Jewish texts referred to a "western wall of the Temple", [12] but there is doubt whether the texts were referring to the outer, retaining wall called today "the Western Wall", or to the western wall of the actual Temple. The name "Wailing Wall", and descriptions such as "wailing place", Weeping Walls regularly in English literature during the 19th century. This term itself was a translation of the Arabic el-Mabkaor "Place of Weeping", the traditional Arabic term for the wall. Charles Wilson, [17]. Weeping Walls in the 19th century, the Arabs began referring to the wall as the al-Buraq Wall, [18] and after the intensification of Arab—Jewish tensions in the s this became the standard Arabic name, replacing the traditional El-Mabka. Only when used in this sense is it synonymous with the term Wailing Wall.

The special Jerusalem in Landmarks Architectural Mamluk allure of Al-Quds al-Sharif, with its sublime noble serenity and inalienable Muslim Arab identity, has enticed Muslims in general and Sufis in particular to travel there on pilgrimage, ziyarat, as has been enjoined by the Prophet Mohammad.

Mausoleums, ribats, zawiyas, caravansaries, sabils, public baths, and covered markets congested the neighborhoods adjacent to the Noble Sanctuary. In six walks the author escorts the reader past the splendid endowments that stand witness to Jerusalem’s glorious past. Mamluk Architectural Landmarks in Jerusalem invites readers into places of special spiritual and aesthetic significance, in which the Prophet’s mystic Night Journey plays a key role. The Mamluk massive building campaign was first and foremost an act of religious tribute to one of Islam’s most holy cities. A Mamluk architectural trove, Jerusalem emerges as one of the most beautiful cities.

The plan for the Ohr Somayach Yeshiva (Plan No. 68858) calls for construction of an eleven-story building with eight levels above ground and three below, including a dormitory for hundreds of students and housing for faculty.

  • Topography of Jerusalem.'
    444 Topography of Jerwaiem. [APRIL, ARTICLE IX. TOPOGRAPHY OF JERUSALEM.' BY JOBBPH P. TROKPSON, D. D., NEW YORK.. WHEN Josephus wrote the fifth book of his Jewish War, he intended to give so accurate a description of the site and the structure of Jerusalem, that one familiar with the city should be able to reconstruct it in imagination; and, that the stranger should also be able to construct it upon a map, and to trace the siege of Titus, from wall to wall and tower to tower, as a spectator might have done from the summit of the mount of Olives. But in sketching the battle-ground of the Roman general, the Jewish historian only projected a battle-ground for futwe topographers; and squadrons of Rabbinists, traditionists, archmologists, geographers, explo­ rers, engineers, and draughtsmen, sciolists and scholars, English, German, American, have deployed about the city, from Hippicus to Antonia, assaulting chiefly the second wall of their antagonists, and waging the fiercest contlict over the Tyropreon valley. Within the last twenty years, espe­ cially, the topography of Jerusalem has become a subject not only of renewed investigation, but of elaborate and even acrimonious controversy •• Travellers, by no means versed in archmology, and with no previous thought of historical investigations, are incited by the view of unquestionable remains of the Jewish and the Roman periods of the city, to put forth descriptions and theories of its ancient structure with all the assurance and profundity of antiquarian re­ search; and thus the public mind is perplexed and divided according to the seeming competence and authority of the witnesses.
