Thousands gathered at the Kotel Plaza Monday to pray for rainfall, as Israel experiences the driest November in almost 50 years. Rain is not expected until mid-December.
The Kotel is part of the ancient external wall built by Jewish kings around the Temple Mount, where the Temple once stood, and which has been under Muslim Arab occupation for centuries. Observant Jews pray to rebuild the Temple at the earliest opportunity.
Judaism teaches that the Land of Israel was given by G-d to the Jews and that it will receive annual rains on time and be plentiful if the Jews observe G-d's commandments.
