Western Wall (Wailing Wall)

The curtain between the holy place and the holy of holies in the Tabernacle and later the Temple symbolized the separation between God and humanity due to sin. It represented the holiness of God and the limitations imposed on people in approaching Him. The tearing of this curtain at Jesus' crucifixion signifies the removal of this barrier, allowing direct access to God for all believers.

The Wailing Wall is in Jerusalem.

The Kotel (also known as the Western Wall) is located in the Old City of Jerusalem at the foot of the west side of the Temple Mount. You can learn more about the Kotel or Western Wall from the Wikipedia.

There is no such thing as a Wailing Wall. This is a misnomer invented by non-Jews who didn't understand the Jewish style of prayer, and thought the people were wailing.

Jews go to the Western Wall, or Kotel, to pray and commune with God. There is a tradition of putting scraps of paper containing prayers into the wall.

I've never heard a synagogue referred to as "wailing walls".

At the "wailing wall" (aka the Western Wall) in Jerusalem, there is large open area that faces the Wall which functions as an open-air synagogue.

• 1) 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.
• 2) As a result of the historical connection between the Jewish people, God and the Holy Temple, it and the Western Wall is representative of the connection with the Divine. In addition, it was seen as the source of Divine Law, as demonstrated in many Jewish prayers: "Ki miTziyon tetze Torah udvar Hashem maYerushalayim - 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.
• 3) 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.
• 4) 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, expelling another million and enslaving the remaining million. 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.
• 5) 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."

While there may be some Muslims who pray at the Western Wall, the site is predominantly a Jewish site. By and large, Muslims pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock Shrine, which are both on the esplanade that the Western Wall serves as retaining wall to support.

Proper religious attire or other appropriate clothes.

You have to face the wall because you need to face the ka'bah

_______________________________________________________

It is not true that you have to face a wall when a Muslim is praying. During praying, you; as Muslim; should face the direction of Kaba (or AlMasjid AlHaram) in Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.

You should not bring any portable electronic devices (cell phones, laptops, pagers, etc.) nor should you be carrying anything such as a backpack or groceries. In fact, any item prohibited for use by Jews on Shabbat should not be brought to the Western Wall on Shabbat.

Some people still call it that.
