The tradition of leaving notes in the spaces between the Western Wall stones is related to the Jewish sage Rabbi Chaim Ben-Atar, who instructed his students to do so. It is said that the act of writing the note shapes a person’s faith and hopes. It helps him to realize his goodness and gain the grace of God through opening his heart to a shared prayer of faith and love that can work wonders.
