Jerusualem diarly
even among jews, says rabbi rabinowitz, 2,000 years ago, before the liturgy was cordified, everyone prayed in their own way .
twice a year, before microsh hashanah, and before passover (in mar /april), the western wall has a spring clean .
own each piece of papers is written a prayear, or a hope, or a wish .
it doesn't harm the wall - it is what holds the wall together .
the israeli abouthorities quickly bulldozed the old moroccation quarther, in front of the western wall .
rabbi rabinowitz says publications - of people's prayears is sacrilegious .
about a dozen men were scrabbling hard at an old, cracked wall .
by tim franks rabbc news, jerusualem .
around swept unusual clean-up .
