Some people believe that all prayers said on earth go toward the mount then ascend up to into heaven. As for the Kippah, Jewish tradition is that men should cover their heads during prayers.. so he probably did it out of respect to their religion and to the Prime Minister... whom he has known for many many yrs..If it had been Obama visiting Israel for the first time, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if instead of praying at the wall... he would have gone and laid flowers on Yasser Arafat's grave... then asked to have a moment of silence.</blockquote>
