Jewish Passover in Jerusalem 2019

This year the Jewish Passover was celebrated in Jerusalem in various ways and locations.  Priests from the Jewish Temple Institute enacted a sacrifice of a Passover Lamb from an area overlooking the Temple Mount.  Elsewhere, thousands of Jewish worshipers gathered at the Western Wall for a priestly blessing also during the Passover celebration on April 22, 2019.
