Blessing Of The Kohanim At The Kotel During Passover
Attending the blessing by the Kohanim at the Kotel on the second day of chol hamoed Pesach was amazing, and a first for our family. We were fortunate enough to have an invitation to a rooftop balcony to enjoy the event way above the crowds, and it was indeed very special! It is true that Kohanim bless their community every Shabbat and holiday in the Beit Knesset, but in this case there are so many Kohanim, that the likely hood of having at least one with a direct line to the original Kohanim from the Biat HaMikdash, The Holy Temple, is quite great. And truly, seeing all these people gathered in this holy place is something amazing! I’m quickly sharing with you the photos I took from afar, as well as some of the rooftop view, enjoy!
The Kohanim are the ones in white, as they cover their head with a tallit so as not to be seen during the blessings.
The view a bit further back, construction in progress for a new something or other.
The rooftops of the Arab quarter.
Rooftops and the temple mount, and Jerusalem hills filled with history!
