Some 20,000 worshipers are estimated to have attended sunrise prayers after a night of learning Torah on Monday morning.
More than 100,000 people are estimated to have visited the Western Wall over the Shavuot holiday on Monday, according to a report on Tuesday.
Some 20,000 worshipers gathered at the Western Wall at sunrise on Shavuot morning for festive prayers, including the Torah reading of the Ten Commandments, according to Israel National News. The event culminated in a large public “kiddush” organized by Colel Chabad, which distributed tens of thousands of individual kiddush kits.
This is the annual Shavuot pilgrimage’s 58th year; a tradition made possible by the reunification of Jerusalem in the Six Day War of 1967.
