Thousands of worshippers are now at the Western Wall Plaza movingly singing together as the Shavuot holiday ended.
Over 50,000 people visited the Western Wall during Shabbat and the adjoining holiday of Shavuot, with the peak being at the early morning netz services on Shavuot morning at which there were 12,000 people. This is the highest number in years.
Prayers to the Western Wall from 140 countries: “For My House shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, in keeping with tradition: Prayer notes placed between the stones of the Western Wall over the past six months have been removed and transferred for ritual burial.
