Tens of thousands of worshippers gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Monday morning for the traditional Priestly Blessing ceremony, held during the intermediate days of the Passover holiday. The event, a regular occurrence during Chol HaMoed, saw Kohanim (members of the priestly caste) recite the biblical priestly blessing over the assembled crowds. The ceremony was broadcast live, allowing those unable to attend in person to participate virtually. This traditional gathering is a significant religious event for many Jews, especially during the pilgrimage festivals.
