Three Israeli soldiers pray at the Western Wall, "center of the world" and holiest spot on earth to Jews. Dating back to 20 B.C., it is accepted as the only surviving part and outside retaining wall to the Great Temple. Access to this site is heavily protected and one must enter via airport-like Xray security stations. Jews were unable to visit this site between 1948 and 1967 when Jerusalem was a divided city and the Old City was under Jordanian control.
