There is no such thing as a wailing wall. This is a misnomer imposed by non-Jewish people who misunderstood the dinstinctive style of Jewish prayer, and thought it was wailing.

Also, the wall is not scared of Jews, but it is sacred to Jews because it is the last remnant of the outer retaining wall of the ancient Temple.
