Three other books mention this story -- see "HaBayit Hayehudi" by R' Aharon Zakai (IV pg. 310), "HaRovah HaYehudi" by Ahron Bir (pg. 1), "Yerushalayim" by Yitzchak Shapiro (p. 183). On the website page, I have noted that this is "a popular Jewish legend."<br />So there is no legitimate source that the Kosel HaMaaravi was built by the poor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307843685706662111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-79830230163037555312013-12-28T20:40:55.455-05:002013-12-28T20:40:55.455-05:00Re: 4.
