The traditional Birkat Kohanim mass priestly blessing took place Thursday morning at the Kotel. The event beganwith the shachrit morning service at 8:15 AM, with the first blessing taking place at approximately 9:00, and the second one, for the musaf service, at approximately 10:00.
The event attracted tens of thousands to the Kotel, and was broadcast on the Internet for Jews around the world to view. Thousands of police were on hand to ensure the safety and security of those attending. No major security or safety incidents were reported, police said. All roads in the Old City in the area of the Jewish Quarter and the Kotel remain closed to private vehicles.
Beginning at noon, the large concert in Hevron, with some of the top stars in Chassidic music, will take place. Arutz Sheva will broadcast the event live.

  • JPost  kuvaa myös  tätä HolHaMoed toisen päivän vuosittaista tapahtumaa. Olen ollut tasan 41 vuotta sitten  kuulemassa  Pappien siunauksen. Tulin Nasaretista, jossa olin yötöissä joka toinen vrk. Mutta silloin jo  oli  traditio toimimassa. Oli uskomus, että  Messiaan tulo on lähellä, kun 350 Leevin pappia kokoontuu lausumaan  Aaronin siunausta   Temppelivuorella.  En olisi osannut itse  sinne hakeutua, mutta opettaja Nechama Nov kehoitti minua menemään sinne, kun tulin Nasaretisa  suoraa Samarian kautta Jerusalemiin.

During the blessing that originated with the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, the Kohanim - the priestly class - bless the Jewish nation twice, once during the Shaharit service and once during the Musaf service. The ceremony ends with a reception for the chief rabbis, who conducts the blessing.
The tradition for hundreds of priests from around the world to gather at the Western Wall, and recite the ancient blessing during Hol Hamoed, has been observed for the past 40 years.
During the Priestly Blessing in October 2009 massive rioting broke out on the Temple Mount and throughout east Jerusalem, following rumors circulated by Muslim priests that spoke of a "Jewish plot" to take over the incendiary holy site.
