Direct: Blessing of the Priests at the Western Wall

The traditional "Priests' Blessing" takes place today (Wednesday) at the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem.

In the traditional prayer at the Western Wall, which was founded more than 50 years ago, the priests raised their hands and greeted the following crowds with the triple blessing written in the Torah.

Whereas in the past tens of thousands of worshipers came to the place, in the Corona era the prayer was held under restricted format, and those present were asked to be careful about wearing masks.
