An estimated 5,000 people participated in Sunday’s erev rosh chodesh tefilla tehillim gathering at the Kosel in the presence of Rishon L’Tzion HaGaon Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita and Mekubal HaRav Yaakov Adas Shlita.

The event was called following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s Bar Ilan address, and to mark three years since Gilad Shalit was taken captive by Hamas, which fell exactly on 29 Tammuz.
