In light of the events of today, I figured I'd finally post some shots from my trip to Israel (as part of the OU Convention) last November. The whole week was awesome, but the capper was the last day (or was it? it's been too long), with Shacharit at sunrise at the Kotel (a cacophony multiple and diverse minyanim all going silent at once), touring the new Southern Wall excavations, and more as the day continued. Oh, and in between those two mentioned events, a walk around the Har HaBayit. I have many shots, but this, I think, is the best, and the closest we got to the actual Makom HaMikdash.
