You mentioned in one of your (superb) lectures that the Kosel is not aligned directly north and south. Right you are. I measured it to be off by about 20 degrees. Any idea why?
ReplyDeleteI do not know that answer. I would like to think that the original western wall of the Har Habayis ran directly north-south, and I do not know why Herod would have changed. the angle. We must seek out the historians to see if they can offer any insight.
