Of course, the men have the largest segment and it is there that they celebrate the most colorful ceremonies, such as the Birkat Kohanim, in which thousands of Jews dressed in their gala clothes gather to pray for 24 hours amid chants and frenetic movements of head or the lighting of a giant menorah during the celebration of Hanukkah or Festival of the Lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_288019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-288019\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-288019\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-2-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-288019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A father prays with his son during his Bar Mitzvah celebration, a ceremony that marks the young man\u2019s religious coming of age.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_288006\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-288006\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-288006\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mujeres-muro-lamentaciones-alejandro-ernesto-2023-1140x761.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-288006\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Women pray in the women\u2019s section of the Wailing Wall, the smallest and where they must dress according to a strict code.
