The Hilula of Rachel Imeinu descended into “absolute chaos” on Motzoei Shabbos as a severe transportation collapse left thousands of mispalelim stranded, with many forced to march long distances on foot, according to witnesses who spoke with Israeli media.Reports from the scene described massive lines forming at the exit from the kever, with mispalelim waiting extended periods for buses that failed to arrive. The central transportation hub at Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem, designated for shuttles to the site, was also plagued by gridlock as buses did not arrive on time, leaving the public waiting.
The massive unexpected influx of visitors—arriving in hundreds of buses and private vehicles—created gridlock along Derech Efrata and all access routes to the holy burial site. Videos captured throngs of people packed shoulder to shoulder. Police and volunteer marshals struggled to manage the overcrowding and maintain order amid scenes of chaos and shouting.
