Thousands at Kotel for Selichos

Over one million people visited the Western Wall during the Selichot nights in the last month.

Tens of thousands came to the Western Wall plaza Tuesday morning to say the selichot ahead of Yom Kippur.

Every year, the number of worshipers at the Western Wall rises during the High Holy Days. The sight of the tens of thousands that fill the Western Wall plaza at night during this special week is an unforgettable experience.

The strength of the connection of the Jewish people to the Western Wall is evident especially here, in which all the divisions are removed as the Jewish people stand united in prayer at the ancient stones of the Western Wall.
