A Little Note

Categories
Lifestyle

I have been privileged to have been to the Western Wall in Jerusalem several times. There is an awesome and unavoidable sense of history and, for me, a holiness that encompasses the historical and more.
There is a custom of inserting little slips of paper inscribed with personal notes, perhaps prayers, in the crevices of the Wall.
It was reported that when Donald Trump visited the Wall earlier this week, he followed the custom of leaving a little piece of paper in a crack in the Wall.
I wonder what was on that little piece of paper.

There was an item in the media yesterday comparing the content of Trump's note with that of his predecessor.

I hope it was a promise that we would be moving our Embassy to Jerusalem! And a prayer that his Jewish grandchildren would grow up in a world that realized true peace in Israel and the Middle East.

Verona has a wall where people leave notes, usually about love. I wonder if he stopped there and left a note.

I have been to the Western Wall more times than I can count and when we lived in Jerusalem went at least once a week, never once did I leave a note in the wall. Pray there, yes, notes, no.
I wonder where the whole custom came from even
