1/200 f/9.0, ISO 100, hand held. Jerusalem, Israel.

Muro del pianto è il nome dato dagli europei al Muro occidentale, unico resto del tempio di Gerusalemme, costruito nel 10° sec. a.C., ricostruito da Erode nel 19 a.C. e distrutto nel 70 d.C. dai romani. È il monumento più sacro per l'ebraismo; dopo la guerra del 1967, quando Gerusalemme fu posta sotto la sovranità israeliana, davanti al sito è stata creata una spianata, sede di raduni e manifestazioni religiose. Quando le legioni di Tito distrussero il Tempio, il muro di cinta occidentale del cortile esterno rimase in piedi, come triste ricordo per gli ebrei da parte di Roma che aveva sconfitto la Giudea. Gli ebrei, comunque, attribuirono la cosa ad una promessa fatta da Dio, che avrebbe lasciato in piedi alcune parti del sacro tempio, come segno del suo immutato legame con il popolo ebraico, nonostante la catastrofe che lo aveva colpito. Gli ebrei pregano presso il Muro del Pianto da duemila anni, ritenendo che quel punto sia il più sacro disponibile sulla faccia della Terra e che Dio sia lì vicino a sentire le loro preghiere. Anche la tradizione di infilare piccoli fogli di carta recanti preghiere nelle fessure del muro è antica di centinaia di anni. Nelle preghiere ripetute per tre volte ogni giorno sono incluse le ferventi richieste a Dio per il ritorno di tutti gli ebrei esiliati nella terra di Israele e la ricostruzione del Tempio (il terzo) per arrivare all'era messianica con l'arrivo del messia. Secondo alcuni, il sito avrebbe una certa rilevanza anche per i musulmani che riterrebbero Salomone (terzo re d'Israele) un loro profeta, chiamandolo Sulaym?n), del quale più volte parla lo stesso Corano. I musulmani credono che Maometto abbia fatto nel 620 un viaggio spirituale notturno dalla Mecca a Gerusalemme cavalcando un quadrupede alato e col volto di donna: al-Bur?q. Una volta arrivato, Maometto avrebbe legato il cavallo vicino ad un muro che alcuni musulmani riterrebbero essere proprio il muro occidentale. Il nome arabo del sito è muro di "al-Bur?q". Alcuni vedrebbero questa come una ragione della riverenza dei musulmani nei confronti del muro, mentre da altri è però considerata un'azione di propaganda contro le rivendicazioni ebraiche sul muro. Al Muro del Pianto, come si vede dalla foto, gli uomini e le donne pregano in due spazi divisi. Critiche, commenti e consigli sempre super graditi. Grazie.
