About 5,000 young people from around the world, who took part in the “March of the Living” from Auschwitz to Birkenau, arrived at the end of Holocaust Remembrance Day for a whole week during which they visited the State of Israel. The peak of the visit took place on Independence Day, when thousands of young people came to pray at the Western Wall.

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.
