Thanks to Israel’s super successful vaccination program, hundreds attended the special Passover Birkat Kohanim (Priestly Blessing) at the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City.

For the first time since the pandemic began, hundreds packed the Kotel (Western Wall) plaza in the Old City of Jerusalem for the bi-annual Birkat Kohanim, Priestly Blessing, ceremony.

The packed crowds at the holy ceremony – albeit still limited, as normally thousands attend the event – were a testament to Israel’s extremely successful vaccination program.

Watch members of the Jewish priestly class, the Kohanim, bless the Jewish People!
