An estimated 5,000 people participated in Sunday�s erev rosh chodesh tefilla tehillim gathering at the Kosel in the presence of Rishon L�Tzion HaGaon Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita and Mekubal HaRav Yaakov Adas Shlita.

The event was called following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu�s Bar Ilan address, and to mark three years since Gilad Shalit was taken captive by Hamas, which fell exactly on 29 Tammuz.
