Entrance to the Kotel Plaza (at the Western Wall) on the upcoming festival of Shavuot and the Shabbot eve immediately following it, will only be for those with a special permit.
Applications for the permit were made via the Western Wall Heritage Sites website last week, and the applicants were entered into a lottery that will be conducted today. The names of the winners will be posted on the site.
As such, only those who win a permit in the lottery will be able to pray at the Kotel at the sunrise minyan on Shavuot morning (this Friday) and on Shabbat eve this week.
