Question
People living in Jerusalem, are they required to tear their garments when they arrive at the Wall and the Temple site?
Answer
Residents of Jerusalem living in the Old City have the custom not to tear their garments, even if they have not seen the Wall for 30 days. Unless they have left Jerusalem for 30 days, however, residents of New Jerusalem are required to tear their garments if they have not seen the Temple site for 30 days.
