"Fort Antonio" sounds like Israel's Alamo, perhaps an old wive's tale. |
Ohio,
Whatever the historic “origin” of the wailing wall, it may well be an old wives tale, right or wrong, today it’s one of the most sacred sites in Israel and has been for over two thousand years.
“The Western Wall is no mere historical asset. It is the Jewish root – the deepest roots that any people has. Elsewhere, we grope for insight. At the Western Wall, As we water the Wall with our tears and melted the stones with our kisses, we achieve clarity and define who we are, as God's eternal nation.”

Pretty powerful. I don’t know what’s what. I’m just keeping my ear to the ground.
