01 · THE DISPATCH
The Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism where prayer is permitted, is the focal point of Tisha B'Av observances in Jerusalem. The Zioneer has previously noted the significance of the site as a remnant of the Second Temple complex. Tisha B'Av, the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av, is a day of fasting and mourning for the destruction of both Temples. The scale of this year's gatherings has not yet been reported.
