Photos: Second Hakafos in Me’aras Hamachpela
Close to a thousand Jews from all over the world participated in a “Second Hakafos” celebration in the Me’aras Hamachpela – the Cave of the Patriarchs – on Thursday evening in Chevron, Israel.
The dancing took place in “Yitzchak’s chamber,” which is off limits to Jews during most of the year, when it serves as a mosque for Muslim prayer. A large security contingent was on hand to ensure the group’s safety.
The Hakafos celebration was organized by Chabad of Chevron, under the leadership of Rabbi Danny Cohen and Rabbi Victor Atiyah.
