Replay: Thousands at Birkat Kohanim at Kotel

Tens of thousands of worshipers gathered Thursday morning for the traditional Birkat Kohanim (Priestly Blessing) ceremony during the Passover holiday at the Western Wall.

The ceremony was led by Israel's Chief Rabbis and the Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites. 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 State of Israel, the IDF soldiers, and the security forces.
