Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Thousands of people have gathered at the "Ohel Rachel" study hall in Beitar Illit for the final Selichot prayers, recited in the days leading up to Yom Kippur. The central event features the prominent Sephardic Halachic authority, Rabbi Benjamin Houta, leading the prayers.

The "Kikar HaShabbat" news outlet is providing live coverage of the event, allowing those unable to attend in person to participate virtually. The gathering underscores the deep religious significance of the Selichot period for many in the Haredi community as they prepare for the Day of Atonement.
