Thousands take part in <i>Birkat ha'Cohanim</i> at the Kotel
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Thousands of ultra-orthodox of the Cohanim priestly caste participated in the priestly blessing, or birkat ha'Cohanim, at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Thursday.
The Cohanim, believed to be descendants of priests who served God in the Jewish Temple before it was destroyed, perform a blessing ceremony of the Jewish people three times a year during the festivals of Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot.
