15,000 in Hebron for Slichot with Chief Rabbis

Over 15,000 people arrived in Hebron on Sep. 26, 2017 for slichot
services at the Tomb of Machpela. The Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashannah and
Yom Kippur were marked with prayer and reflection, culminating with the blowing of a
shofar and two silver trumpets.


 


Services were led by the two Chief Rabbis of the State of Israel, Ashkenazic
Chief Rabbi David Lau and Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef. Other guests will include
the Chief Rabbi of Tzfat, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu Members of Knesset Eli Ben Dahan and the
Karliner Rebbe, the leader of the Karlin hasidic movement.


 


The prayers were held in the Isaac Hall, the largest in the Cave of
Patriarchs complex, which is open on ten days a year for Jewish
services.


 


The following day, a special women’s prayer gathering was held outside also
attended by thousands, featuring performers Etti Ankri and Ruhama Ben Yosef, and guest
speaker Rebbetzin Yemima Mizrachi.
