The Divine Presence never departs from the Western Wall

The Divine Presence never departs from the Western Wall

The Divine Presence still dwells at the Western Wall despite the destruction of the Temple.

("The Divine Presence never departs from the Western Wall, as it is said (Song of Songs 2): 'There he stands behind our wall'" - Midrash Tehillim (Buber), Psalm 11, and also: "A covenant is made with every city that it imprints its mark on its inhabitants; all the more so the City of God, which surpasses all other cities, that the Divine Presence has never departed from her" - Agnon, Only Yesterday, 197)
