Israel's return to the Old City
was an emotionally charged
event. For the first time in 19
years, Jews could once again
pray at the Western Wall, the
remaining symbol of the Jewish
Temple destroyed by the Ro-
mans in 70 CE. The many syna-
gogues, homes and shops of the
Jewish Quarter of the Old City
had been largely reduced to
rubble, but some former resi-
dents returned and reconstruc-
tion on a massive scale was un-
dertaken.
