The Western Wall Heritage Foundation gives the Kosel such a face-lift twice a year – before the Pesach and ahead of Rosh Hashanah.

The kvitlach will be placed in a repository in accordance with halacha, with the laborers – working under the supervision of Kosel rov Rav Shmuel Rabinovich – taking care to not read their content.

Engineers also regularly conduct a test to determine the stability of the stones so that none are in the risk of falling on the mispalelim below.
