Do the modern jews pray at the Western or wailing wall?
Yes. Modern Jews continue to pray at the Western Wall. The Western Wall (often incorrectly named the Wailing Wall) remains the holiest site in the world for Jews.The Second Great Temple (as built by Prophets Ezra and Nehemiah and improved by King Herod) had a large esplanade or plaza. However, as Jerusalem is hilly, the northeastern corner was at a higher elevation than the southwest corner. As a result, retaining walls for the esplanade were built on the western and southern sides of the esplanade to keep it level. The Western Wall is the portion of the western retaining wall that is the closest area to where the Holy of Holies sat on the esplanade.The Western Wall is often incorrectly stated or oversimplified to be a part of the Second Temple. The Second Temple was completely destroyed by the Roman General Titus when he conquered the city in 70 C.E. As said above, the Western Wall is part of the esplanade itself (i.e. the retaining wall) as opposed to the Second Temple building individually.
