The teacher will teach about bringing notes to Jerusalem through pictures: Many years ago, in small, far-away towns in Europe, the people living there wanted to send their prayers to Jerusalem. They couldn't make the journey to Jerusalem; instead, they prayed "Next Year in Jerusalem." One day, one of the city elders had an idea. The people living in the city chose a young man, bought him a ticket to Israel, and publicized that anyone who wanted his prayers to reach Jerusalem could bring their written prayers on a small note. The notes were gathered into a big sack and given to the young man. The young man travelled by wagon to the train station. He then took a train to the port and boarded a ship heading to Israel. When he arrived in Israel, tried but full of excitement, he travelled by wagon to Jerusalem. After a long, tiring journey, the young man reached the city of Jerusalem. He got down from the wagon and started searching for the way to the Western Wall. Eventually, he found his way to the Western Wall. He approached the wall with shaking hands, bent down on his knees, and took out his sack that was full of prayers. The young man took every, single note, from the men, women, and children of his community, and placed them in the cracks between the stones of the wall. Lastly, he reached his own note. He closed his eyes, and prayed from the depths of his heart for his family, good health, success, thanked G-d for helping him make it to Jerusalem, and requested that He help him return in peace to his family.
The teacher should summarize: The Western Wall is the designated place for requests and prayer because it is the closest place to where the Temple stood two-thousand years ago. People who could not make it to the Western Wall to pray would send notes to the wall instead. This special tradition exists until today and people write notes and place them in the cracks of the Western Wall.
