מעל 20 אלף איש במעמד הסליחות המרכזי הראשון | Twenty Thousand Attend First Selichot at Western Wall

Over 20,000 people attended the first central selichot service of the year at the Western Wall on Thursday night, according to the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. The foundation called on the public to come to services earlier in the month in order to spread out the crowds and protect the health and safety of visitors to the site. This is the first year since 2019 that selichot prayers have been conducted at the Western Wall without special coronavirus regulations.
