In a beautiful sight, Tens of thousands of mispalilim gathered on Chol Ha’Moed for the Birchas Kohanim ceremony during Pesach at the Kosel, led by Israel’s Chief Rabbis and Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, Rov of the Kosel. During the ceremony, prayers were offered for the swift return of the hostages, for the healing of the wounded, and for the well-being of the IDF soldiers and Israeli security forces.

This year, at the end of Musaf, a special tefillah was held in the presence of thousands of mispalilim, for the safe return of the hostages, the “Mi Sheberach” tefillah for the success of IDF soldiers and security forces fighting on various fronts, a special prayer for the healing of the wounded from the war, and a prayer for peace and unity among the Yidden of Eretz Yisroel, under the theme of “May He grant you peace”, a tefillah of gratitude to Hashem for the miracles occurring for the Yidden in Eretz Yisroel with thousands of rockets and hundreds of missiles raining down on Israel since October 7, from every direction, with minimal casualties.

The Birchas Kohanim, was led by thousands of Kohanim from all over Eretz Yisroel, with a large crowd of Mispalilim.
