A three-ton stone from Jerusalem's Western Wall will be part of an upcoming exhibition on the Dead Sea Scrolls in New York City.

The exhibit is created by the Israel Antiquities Authority from the collections of the Israel National Treasures.
Visitors will be able to leave prayer notes inside the stone. They'll be sent to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
It's believed that the stone was part of a retaining wall that enclosed a temple destroyed by the Romans 2,000 years ago.
The scrolls shed light on the development of the Hebrew Bible and the origins of Christianity.
