Unable to be in Israel for Yom Kippur? Thanks to the Internet and webcam technology, you can be in virtual attendance in the Kotel, at the Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City.

There are two websites that offer free webcam views of the Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City.

Aish.com offers a high-tech camera that allows viewers to zoom in and out from the center of action in the Kotel - the area in front of the Western Wall. The best site for viewing the Wall with this camera is

Another website sponsored by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation offers two webcams outside the Wall and one inside Wilson's Arch where Orthodox men gather to pray. Both cameras can be accessed at this website:

And may your name be inscribed in the Book of Life.
