On the sign:
סמל מדינת ישראל
סמל הקרן למורשת הכותל המערבי

סדר הקריעה על מקום המקדש
כשבא אל הכותל המערבי ורואה בית המקדש בחורבנו חייב להשתחוות.

וטוב לומר כשרואה את המסגד: " בֵּית גֵּאִים יִסַּח ד’ וְיַצֵּב גְּבוּל אַלְמָנָה".

כשרואה את מקום המקדש או הכותל המערבי אומר: "בֵּית קָדְשֵׁנוּ וְתִפְאַרְתֵּנוּ אֲשֶׁר הִלְלוּךָ אֲבֹתֵינוּ הָיָה לִשְׂרֵפַת אֵשׁ וְכָל מַחֲמַדֵּינוּ הָיָה לְחָרְבָּה".

ויאמר ללא שם: "בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם דַּיַּן הָאֱמֶת".

קורע בבגדו טפח מלמעלה למטה לפניו מצד שמאל כנגד הלב.

ומוסיף ואומר: "כִּי כָל מִשְׁפָּטָיו צֶדֶק וֶאֱמֶת. הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ, כִּי כָל דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט, אֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל, צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר הוּא. וְאַתָּה צַדִּיק עַל כָּל הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ כִּי אֱמֶת עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲנַחְנוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ".

טוב לומר מזמור ע"ט בתהילים כדי לעורר את לבו להתאבל על חורבן המקדש ולהתפלל על בניינו בכוונה עצומה:
[מזמור ע"ט בתהילים: מִזְמוֹר, לְאָסָף: אֱלֹקים, בָּאוּ גוֹיִם בְּנַחֲלָתֶךָ טִמְּאוּ, אֶת הֵיכַל קָדְשֶׁךָ... ]

ואח"כ יאמר: שַׂמְּחֵנוּ כִּימוֹת עִנִּיתָנוּ שְׁנוֹת רָאִינוּ רָעָה.: יֵרָאֶה אֶל-עֲבָדֶיךָ פָעֳלֶךָ וַהֲדָרְךָ, עַל-בְּנֵיהֶם: וִיהִי, נֹעַם ד, אֱלֹקֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ:
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ, כּוֹנְנֵהוּ וִיהִי רָצון מִלְּפָנֶיךָ שׁתְזַכֵּנוּ בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּים לִרְאוֹת בִּנְיַן בֵּית הַמִקְדָשׁ וְירושָׁלָיִם וְעָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה אָמֵן כֵּן יְהִי רָצוֹן.

The order of keriah (tearing) on the site of the Temple
When he comes to the Western Wall and sees the Temple in its ruin he must bow.

And it is good to say when he sees the mosque: "The LORD will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow."

When he sees the place of the temple or the Western Wall, he says: "Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised Thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste."

And he said (without the holy name), "Blessed are you, O King of the world, who judges the truth."

Tearing his garment Hand (unit) from top to bottom in front of him from the left side against the heart.

And adds: For all his judgments were justice and truth, the flint acted, for all his ways were justice, to faith and no injustice, righteous and upright he and you are righteous for all that comes upon us because truth you have done and we have sinned

It is good to say Psalm 79 in the Psalms to arouse his heart to mourn the destruction of the Temple and to pray for our building with great intent:
[Psalm 79 in Psalms: A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps ...]

And then he will say: We rejoiced like the days when you tortured us for years, we saw evil: show your servants your deeds and the way to their sons:
And the work of our hands establisheth upon us, and the work of our hands establisheth it.
And let there be a desire before thee that thou mayest prevail against us, and we may see the building of the temple, and of Jerusalem, and of the cities of Israel, and of Judah, Amen.
