Judaism's most holy place was the Temple in Jerusalem. The Western Wall is the last remaining structure of the Temple Mount, most of which was destroyed by the Romans 2000 years ago. The Temple was the center of Judaism. It is important to Jews because it was the site of the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, in Genesis ch.22). While the Temple stood, offerings were made there to God and His presence dwelt in the Holy of Holies and was manifested in a number of miracles (Mishna, Avos ch.5). It was where Jews would go three times a year to celebrate the holiest festivals (Deuteronomy ch.16). Even after the destruction of the Temple, the Temple Mount and adjacent Western ("Wailing") Wall, which still stands, is the holiest site in Judaism. It is hoped and prophesied (Ezekiel ch.40-44) that one day a third temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that the Messiah will come to it.As a result of the historical connection between the Jewish people, God and the Holy Temple, the Western Wall is representative of the connection with the Divine. In addition, the Temple was seen as the source of Divine Law, as demonstrated in many Jewish prayers: "Ki miTziyon tetze Torah udvar Hashem miYerushalayim - From Zion comes the Torah and the Word of God from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3), because the Sanhedrin of Torah-sages sat within the precincts of the Temple. The Temple is also representative of the Redemption of the Jewish people from their physical and spiritual exile, because this exile causes the melancholy that the Jewish people experience by being apart from God's presence. The Redemption, which Jews believe will be brought by the Messiah, will result in the Jewish people returning to Jerusalem and the rebuilt Temple within it.According to ancient Hebrew tradition, the Temple Mount is the site where God took the very earth from which Adam, the first man, was formed. Read Genesis carefully: Adam was not created in the garden of Eden; he was TAKEN there. The Temple Mount, because it is the first place on Earth where the spirit of God dwelt, is considered sacred, and a direct link to God.Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion and the Temple Mount has been its only holy site for 3000 years, ever since King Solomon built the first Jewish Temple there. The temple was destroyed by invading Babylonians and rebuilt at the same site about 2500 years ago. It was then destroyed again when the Romans conquered Judea about 2000 years ago, killing a million Jews. All Jews who value their heritage feel ties to the holy land, where so many of their people struggled for the freedom to practice Judaism. At the same time, Jews believe that all people should be welcome there, regardless of faith.Jerusalem is the eternal Jewish city, and a symbol of a future time of peace. Jerusalem is also the focal point of prayer of the Jews. When they pray, wherever they are, they face towards Jerusalem and specifically the Temple Mount (Talmud, Berakhot 30a), with love and longing. For thousands of years we remembered our exile and prayed for its end. Now at least we can do so from "up close."See also:Jewish history timelineDestruction and Diaspora
It is very unlikely that the government of Israel will ever rebuild the temple. There is a Muslim holy site on the Temple Mount. Furthermore, the Israeli government is not a religious government. Moreover, Orthodox Jews believe the Temple cannot be rebuilt until the messiah comes.

Christ knows our very thoughts as relaid to Him by the Holy Ghost. He therefore had knowledge of the thoughts of Judas. He had to call him to be one of the twelve so that the betraying of Christ could come about. The Jewish leaders were more likely to believe one of the apostles, and as Judas was who he was it was easy enough for the Jewish leaders to get him to betray Christ. Remember at the last supper in Matthew 26: 25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
The Ark of the Covenant is the special chest built under Moses' direction in which was kept the tablets containing the word of God or the Ten Commandments, and a couple of other special objects. Many Jews believe that the Ark still exists and is hidden somewhere, possibly within the Temple Mount. The Holy of Holies, the innermost chamber of the Jewish Temple, housed the Ark of the Covenant, considered to be the footstool of God. When the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies, he believed he was entering the very presence of God. Prior to the building of the Temple, The Ark of the Covenant was kept in a special tent.
