Wailing wall, the 100 kg stone is detached in the prayer area



[ad_1]

A large stone weighing approximately 100 kg was detached last night from the Western Wall and crushed to the ground without causing casualties. The episode took place a few hours after the end of penitential fasting on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av which recalls the destruction of the first and second temple of Jerusalem. [Lundi1945] For many hours, the esplanade in front of the Wall had been packed with thousands of worshipers. The fall of the Wailing Wall stones is considered very rare and the last episode goes back tens of years

Noting that the event occurred shortly after the end of penitential fasting, Rabbi of the Wailing Wall Shmuel Rabinovic noted that this "opens up perplexities and questions in which the human soul is too small to measure with them." Certainly – he added – it is necessary that we proceed to an examination of conscience.
