JERUSALEM is delivered from the
hand OF the enemy. and still the
Jews OF Jerusalem gather at the
Wall Of Wailing 70 mourn and pray
for the kingdom and FOR their suf-
fering people.
For many centuries the walls OF
the Gate Of the Prophets have wit
messed these pathetic ceremonies. In
the days OF the Roman empire, tur-
baned Jews came to bewau the de-
struction Of their city. When they
were bauished from Jerusalem for
taking part In a revolt, they man
aged TO buy the expensive privilege
OF standing on a hill where they
could see the city afar off. and here
they often gathered TO weep until an
other emperor opened Jerusalem's
gates 70 them
All through ancient and medieval
times until now. the ceremony has
been the same- Even the appearance
OF these mourners has changed only a
little, for some still wear the native
robes, and many add a turban or fur
cap to an otherwise modern costume.
Late on Friday afternoon they come
TO the appointed place 10 kiss the
stones OF the ancient wall built over
