Rabbis Urge Haredi Jews to Skip Shavuot Western Wall Visit Amid Growing Tensions - Report © REUTERS / ILAN ROSENBERG Subscribe Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/202105161082906813-rabbis-urge-haredi-jews-to-skip-shavuot-western-wall-visit-amid-growing-tensions -report/ On the Shavuot holiday, going to the Western Wall is significant because it is one of the three holidays, along with Passover and Sukkot, when Jews were historically expected to go to Jerusalem s Temple and give sacrifices. As a result, these holidays typically draw a large number of Jewish worshipers to the Western Wall. Due to the ongoing and at times escalating conflict situation across Israel, ultra-Orthodox Haredi leaders Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky and Rabbi Gershon Edelstein declared over the weekend that Jews should not go to the Western Wall to worship on Shavuot, Israel s news portal Walla reported on Sunday.
