Did you ever go to the Temple Nitzan asks her Aravah laughs No It was destroyed thousands of years ago But we remember it every year on Tisha B’Av which starts tonight calls It’s time to move on to our next stop in our Tisha B’Av tour Before we go Aravah snaps a selfie of us with Jerusalem in the background How can we remember something we never experienced I wonder Let’s go kids my aunt
We go into the Old City to the Western Wall of the Temple which we call the Kotel I press my face against the stones and say a little prayer For a long time the Western Wall of the Temple was the only part of the wall that could be seen says my aunt But archaeologists are uncovering more of it every day
We walk to Robinson’s Arch Stones were knocked down when the Roman army destroyed the Temple more than 2000 years ago says my aunt And now we’re going to see parts of the Wall that are buried
