On Wednesday, the second day of Chol HaMoed Sukkot, the descendants of the sons the High Priest (Aharon) performed the Birkat HaKohanim — the Blessing of the Jewish Priests — at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

The blessing of the Jewish priests takes place three times a year, during the three major pilgrimage festivals — Sukkot, Pesach and Shavuot.
