Tens of Thousands Attend Final Selichot Prayers at Western Wall Before Yom Kippur
Tens of thousands of worshippers gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for the final Selichot (penitential prayers) service before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The prayers, a significant tradition leading up to the holiest day in Judaism, saw a massive turnout.
Among those in attendance was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who joined rabbis and the public in reciting the prayers. He was accompanied by Chief Rabbis David Yosef and Kalman Bar. The event marked a moment of communal reflection and spiritual preparation for the upcoming solemn holiday.
