Editing Western Wall (section)

====Chabad tefillin stand====
Shortly after the Western Wall came under Israeli control in 1967, a stand of the [[Chabad]] movement offering [[Tefillin|phylacteries]] (''tefillin'') was erected with permission from Rabbi [[Yehuda Meir Getz]], the first rabbi of the Kotel. The stand offers male visitors the chance to put on ''tefillin'', a daily Jewish prayer ritual. In the months following the [[Six-Day War]] an estimated 400,000 Jews observed this ritual at the stand.<ref>{{cite news |first= Leo |last= Schapiro |date= November 25, 1967 |title= Lubavitchers Push Tefillin Campaign |work= Boston Globe |quote= Since the Six Day War in June which resulted in the creation of a united Jerusalem as part of Israel, more than 400,000 members of the Jewish faith are estimated to have observed the commandment to wear Phylacteries – tefillin In Hebrew – at the city's Western, formerly known as the "Wailing” Wall.}}</ref> The stand is staffed by multilingual Chabad volunteers and an estimated 100,000 male visitors put on tefillin there annually.<ref>{{cite news |first= Dovid |last= Margolin |title= 50 Years After Six-Day War, How the Kotel Became Synonymous With Tefillin |date= May 15, 2017 |url=http://www.chabad.org/news/article_cdo/aid/3674194/jewish/50-Years-After-Six-Day-War-How-the-Kotel-Became-Synonymous-With-Tefillin.htm |work= Chabad.org}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=December 2022}}
