This morning (Tuesday) the traditional disinfection and cleaning procedure was performed for the Western Wall stones. The Western Wall is known to be visited by thousands of visitors from Israel and around the world during the year, and the disinfection was done to protect the Western Wall from possible infections, especially at this time.
Prior to Passover, the Western Wall continued its long-standing tradition, and this morning the prayer notes that were placed between the Western Wall courses were cleared for the past six months. In the spirit of time, the evacuation is accomplished through the use of disposable gloves and wooden tools. The notes were collected in sacks and forwarded for burial along with the holy books that are being transferred to Geniza on the Mount of Olives.
