Although my visit to Israel included many unforgettable moments, my favorite memory was the day I visited the Western Wall. After walking through Jerusalem, I rounded the corner and saw the Western Wall for the first time. It was a beautiful view with the Dome of the Rock in the background, just like I imagined. Throughout my life I have seen numerous pictures from this spot and heard many stories from friends and family that visited. But at that very moment when I saw it with my own eyes, I felt an overwhelming, satisfying and peaceful feeling. After placing my prayer note into a crevice in the Wall I was able to share this experience with a wonderful group of women. I am grateful to have such an incredible memory from my trip to Israel.
