Female Jewish worshippers pray in front of the men’s section at the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest prayer site, in Jerusalem’s Old City September 3rd, 2013 ahead of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year which starts at sundown on Wednesday. Leading up to Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, which follows Rosh Hashanah, Jews offer prayers of repentance and ask God to forgive their sins in daily prayer service called Slichot. |
