Parking and space on the number 2 bus was scarce as thousands made their way to the Kosel in the early hours of the morning to daven on Hoshana Rabbah. Sporting hoshanos both big and small, minyanim of all walks of yiddishkeit could be seen taking place by the Kosel. HaRav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg Shlita could be seen (00:35 in the video) in his white kittel and yarmulka. As the crowds increased with the arrival of MaRan HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliyashiv Shlita, riot police was called in to control the large crowds.
