Jewish worshippers pray in front of the Western Wall during the Priestly Blessing on the holiday of Passover, in Jerusalem on March 29, 2021. The Priestly Blessing or priestly benediction, also known in rabbinic literature as raising of the hands or rising to the platform or dukhanen or duchanning, is a Hebrew prayer recited by Kohanim. Even after the destruction of the second Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem, the practice has been continued in Jewish synagogues, and today in most Jewish communities, Kohanim bless the worshippers in the synagogue during special Jewish prayer services.
