What is the Wailing Wall? Why is it called the Wailing Wall or Western Wall and why is it so important to Jews? In this video we we see footage of Hakafot (Dance) celebration at the Western Wall for Simchat Torah (Joy of Torah). We will also examine the history and understanding of the Western Wall. @Truthdebate

The Wailing wall is the remains of the Second Temple Period, when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in AD 70. Titus was the general of Roman forces that destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the Temple, according to Josephus over 1 million Jews were killed by the Romans, the final battle was Masada. The Jews had lost control of the site for almost 2000-years. In 1967 Jews regained control of the Western Wall the the Temple Mount. They allowed Muslims to maintain control of the Temple Mount, but Jews took control of the Western Wall, it became known as the Wailing Wall as Jews would go there to pray and wail (Lamentations by Jeremiah) the destruction of the First and Second Temple.
