Location Information
|
The Wailing Wall is a remnant of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. It is believed that God will grant the prayers that are written down and stuck into the cracks between the stones.
History
The Simpson family visited the Wailing Wall when they were in Israel with their friends. Tour guide Jakob explained the custom of writing down prayers and putting them into the wall. Krusty put in a prayer for God to fix some parking tickets. Bart pulled out other people's prayers from the wall, read them and pretended to be God ignoring them. Homer put in a prayer to not let Marge find out their hotel left chocolates on the pillows at night. When Bart found this prayer, he laughed and Homer started to strangle him. Bart then wrote down a prayer for Homer to have another heart attack.
Bart escaped the strangling and ran away from the group, but Dorit quickly caught him, beat him up, and brought him back to the group.
