What do. Jews do on a pilgrimage?
Since the Destruction of the Temple (some 2,000 years ago), Jews do not have any required pilgrimages, so there are no rituals that would be associated with them. In a more generic and modern context, because the existence of the State of Israel enables Jews to make pilgrimages to the Land of Israel (where before such access was forbidden or severely curtailed), many Jews make pilgrimages to such sites as the Western Wall, the Cave of the Patriarchs, the Tombs of Joseph and Rachel, and the Medieval Kabbalistic Synagogues of Zefat (Safed). Jews who perform these pilgrimages do not do anything special at these places other than pray in typical Jewish style. The one exception is the Western Wall, where Jews will often write small paper notes with prayers to God and stick them within the crevices of the wall after praying.
