The Problem: In honor of Passover, here is a charity that supports the Western Wall. There are 4 support walls remaining from the temple in Jersusalem which was destroyed in 70 CE. The Western Wall was closest to the Holy of Holies. "It became a place of prayer and yearning for Jews around the world." Millions of people visit annually. The site needs maintenance and renovation.
