Little Western Wall

The Little Western Wall, also known as HaKotel HaKatan (or just Kotel Hakatan) and the Small Kotel, (Hebrew: הכותל הקטן‎), is a Jewish religious site located in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem near the Iron Gate to the Temple Mount. The wall itself dates from the Second Temple period, (516 BCE – 70 CE). It is the continuation of the Larger part of the Kotel and almost exactly faces the Holy of Holies.^[2] HaKotel HaKatan is not as well-known and not as crowded as the larger part of the Western Wall.^[3] This section of the wall is of deep spiritual significance because of its close proximity to the Holy of Holies. However, it is not the closest location to the Holy of Holies, as there is a location in the Kotel Tunnels which directly faces the Holy of Holies.^[4]
