Contrary to popular perception, the Western (Wailing) Wall is not the most holy site, in and of itself. It is only part of the entire Temple Mount which is the actual most holy site in Judaism. Judaism anticipates a future rebuilding of a Third Temple as per the book of Ezekiel.

As it is considered the interface between the spiritual and physical worlds, all Jewish prayers are directed there. If a Jew lives West of the Temple Mount, they face East when in prayer. If a Jew lives South of the Temple Mount, they face North when they pray.
