Israel – a group of 4 medals on the subject of the Western Wall – silver, total weight 108g, net silver weight 104g
The Western Wall is one of the four retaining walls surrounding the Temple Mount for about two thousand years, from the end of the Second Temple period to the present day. In Jewish tradition, the Western Wall is highly sacred, and Jews have been praying there for more than 1,100 years.
The Western Wall has religious importance due to its proximity to the location of the Holy of Holies, along with national and historical importance. As a result, millions of visitors come to it every year, Jews (about 10 million people a year) and non-Jews. Mitzvahs come to the Torah there on Mondays and Thursdays, IDF soldiers swear allegiance on its upper plaza, and people from all over the world visit it.
