WATCH - SPECIAL VIDEO: Tens of thousands attend annual Priestly Blessing at the Western Wall

Tens of thousands gathered at the Western Wall Plaza in the Old City of Jerusalem Wednesday morning for the annual Priestly Blessing ceremony.

The tradition of holding the ceremony at the holy sight was started 52 years ago by Menachem Mendel Gaffner and is organized by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation during the intermediate days of Sukkot and Passover.

During the ceremony, hundreds of priests (Kohanim) bless the crowd with the ancient blessing that is written in the Torah.
