The Kotel HaMa’aravi (כותל המערבי), or Western Wall, is the sacred remnant of the Second Temple, a place where the Shechinah, God’s divine presence, is said to dwell closest to earth. For the Jewish people, it is a powerful symbol of our connection to God, our history, and our enduring hope for the rebuilding of the Temple and the full redemption of Israel. Standing at the *Kotel* invites each of us to bring our personal prayers, to feel the weight of generations, and to connect with a living faith that has survived and thrived across millennia.

In Jewish liturgy, the concept of engraving or etching into stone is often evoked to symbolize permanence, devotion, and the deep commitment between God and Israel. One notable reference appears in *Pirkei Avot* (Ethics of the Fathers), which metaphorically describes Torah learning that is deeply absorbed as being "engraved on stone" (2:10). This image suggests a lasting impression, symbolizing knowledge or values that become an inseparable part of a person’s being.
Another powerful reference is in the *Shabbat* Amidah prayer, where it describes the *luchot ha-brit*, the "tablets of the covenant," which were etched by God’s own hand. This image, drawn from the Torah’s description in Exodus 31:18, symbolizes the eternal covenant between God and the Jewish people, where the words of the commandments are not merely written but engraved, reflecting their enduring, unbreakable nature.
The theme of engraving as a mark of lasting love and dedication also appears in Isaiah 49:16: "Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands," expressing God’s unbreakable commitment to the Jewish people. This verse is sometimes referenced in liturgical poetry to emphasize God’s closeness and everlasting bond with Israel.
