Following this, a prayer for peace in Israel was led by the director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, Mr. Mordechai (Suli) Eliav.At the conclusion of the event, thousands sang “Ani Ma’amin” and “Achenu Kol Beit Yisrael,” praying together for the swift return of the hostages, for the recovery of the wounded, and for the safety of IDF soldiers and security forces.

Later tonight, the night after Tisha B’Av, thousands, including Admorim (Hasidic leaders), rabbis, and yeshiva students, are expected to arrive at the Western Wall for the “Kiddush Levanah” ceremony and songs of yearning and longing.
