Tonight, all Ashkenazic Jews all over the world are starting the traditional Selichot - Prayers before Rosh HaShana (Jewish New Year).
The Sephardic Jews have already started praying Selichot on Rosh Chodesh Elul.
Usually the Selichot are being said after midnight.
The Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem will be packed for the next coming days. Hundreds or even thousands of Jews are coming to say the Selichot.
Normally we start saying Selichot on the Mozzaei Shabbat right before Rosh HaShana. Halachically we need to pray them on at least four days.This time, however, the holiday is starting on a Monday night and thus, the Selichot are said earlier.
