Favorite Thing: There is a plant between the rocks of the western wall.
The name of the plant is Capparis spinosa (in hebrew it is "Tsa'laf").
There is a legend about the plant :
When the romans attacked Jerusalem there was a boy called Tsalaf (the hebrew meaning of sniper) that stood on the western wall and fired arrows on the romans so they couldnt pass.
The roman's millitary leader saw that and ordered to enter from the north entry and they broke into the temple mount and destroyed the temple.
The roman's millitary leader came behind the boy to kill him but he was amazed that it was just a small boy.
Before he killed him the boy started to get down on the wall and just before the romans killed him with their arrows he became a plant - a caper.
The roman's millitary leader ordered his soldiers to get down the wall and bring him the plant but each one of them fell after the thorns of the plant injured them.
And now only the western wall was left and the plant is still watching the people praying.
