Thousands attended the 51st annual Birchas Kohanim at the Kosel on Monday morning, the second day of Chol Hamoed Pesach.

Security was noticeably extra tight, following a day of Palestinian attacks against Jews in the Old City and on buses heading to the Kosel. There were no incidents reported.

This year, there will be a second Birchas Kohanim on Wednesday morning.

Following the Birchas Kohanim today, Israel Sephardic Chief Rabbi, Hagaon HaRav Yitzchak Yosef led thousands in Kabolas Ol Malchus Shomayim.
