150,000 Nightly Visitors Expected for Kosel Slichos

150,000 Nightly Visitors Expected for Kosel Slichos

Officials estimate that beginning on Motzei Shabbos, last night, some 150,000 people will be arriving at the Kosel nightly for slichos as Ashkenazim join their Sephardi brethren and begin slichos ahead of Rosh Hashanah.

Security in the Old City of Yerushalayim, particularly around the Kosel, remains high as Rosh Hashanah nears, tourists begin arriving, and Muslims are preparing to wind down Ramadan and begin celebrating Id el-Fitr.
