Birkat Kohanim (the priestly blessing) at the Western Wall
Every year during the intermediate days of Pesach and Sukkot, there is a mass 'priestly blessing' that takes place - usually on the first intermediate day that is not a holiday day for the tourists. This year's mass priestly blessing is taking place on Monday morning, and if you are in Israel and have never seen it, I advise you to make your way to the Western Wall around 8:30 Monday morning and join the crowd - it's quite an experience.Here's the one from last Sukkot. Let's go to the videotape.

Yes, it is an experience, but do not take small kids as it is a mob SCENE GETTING THERE AND PACK. Buses are packed, and people push to get on them, sometimes in a dangerous way.
