[Video and photos below.] Some 40,000 Yidden arrived at the Kosel today to attend Birchas Kohanim. Police were on high alert and many officers were deployed throughout the allies of the Old City leading up to the Kosel.
Among those in attendance were Israeli Chief Rabbis Rav Shlomo Amar and Rav Yonah Metzger, Kosel Rov Rav Shmuel Rabinovich, and the Kaliver Rebbe, among others.
This was said to be the 100th mass Birchas Kohanim at the Kosel, which is held twice a year, on Chol Hamoed Sukkos and Chol Hamoed Pesach.
