The Stones

They sparkle and glow, touched by the starry night sky.

The stones of the Kotel stand before me, reaching up, in their effort to surround our holiest ground- The ground of the Beis HaMikdash, which will soon take its appointed place.

Millions stream here throughout the year, drawn to the magnificent presence-

The presence of something not tangible, but so real and so true.

Who knew?

Who knew I would get the chance- the chance to spend a year in this city. A year amongst the most special people and places.

No words could possibly express, My feelings so intense.

All I can say is, G-d, you have given me a treasure.
