🎶 Selichot At The Western Wall Before Rosh Hashanah Jews around the world begin saying special Selichot prayers. Sephardim begin at the start of the month of Elul. Ashkenazim began after Shabbat this week. In Israel, countless people join services at the Kotel, the Western Wall, as they ask for a sweet new year. | Chabad.org

Every year, on the eve of Yom Kippur, thousands gather at the Kotel for Selichot - prayers that prepare us spiritually for the holiest day of the Jewish year. This year, freed hostages Agam Berger, Karina Ariev, and Na’ama Levy were among the crowd - living symbols of resilience and hope. As we enter Yom Kippur, may their prayers, and ours, bring healing, unity, and peace. ✡️🌙 Video: @Ostrov_A / X | AIJAC - Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council
