ISRAEL — At the Wall: A worker removes prayer notes left by visitors from gaps between the stones on the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray in Jerusalem's Old City, Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022, ahead of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. The notes are buried in a nearby cemetery according to Jewish tradition. The operation is carried out twice a year before Rosh Hashana and before the holiday of Passover in the spring.
