On Saturday night, only 200 worshipers attended the traditional annual mass prayer ahead of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, which begins on Sunday evening.
The event, which takes place every year in front of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, is usually attended by tens of thousands of people.
This year, however, the Western Wall Plaza remained almost empty due to the ongoing full nationwide lockdown, aiming to deal with the high COVID-19 morbidity in the country.
