      Worshippers Flock to Kotel


      Jewish worshippers are flocking to the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem on Saturday night for the final night of Selichot prayers, the prayers recited in the days leading up to Yom Kippur. The Yom Kippur holiday will begin on Sunday evening.

      Jerusalem police have closed roads in and around the Old City due to the large amount of pedestrian traffic.
