Jews attend Passover prayers at Jerusalem's Western Wall
Hundreds of Jews gather at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Thursday to attend a mass prayer for the holiday of Passover. The worshippers attended Birkat Hakohanim, the Priestly Blessing, which draws crowds from across Israel and around the world. It is held three times a year. Kohanim, or priests, lead the communal prayers by chanting three consecutive verses of the Torah, one word at a time, in a special song reputedly dating back to the Temple era itself.
