Jerusalem (JTA)—Over 10,000 worshipers assembled at tha Western Wall to hear the sounding of the sliofar, which traditionally marks the end of the 25-hoitr Yom Kippur fast. The crowd then broke into the singing of Hatikvah, Israel's national anthem, and "Ani Maameen"—I Believe in the Coming of the Messiah. Tha "Neilah" service, the closing and one of the most significant prayers of the Day of Atonement, had been attended at the Wall by members of the Israeli Cabinet, the Mayor of Jerusalem, members of the Knesset (Parliament), and numerous rabbis. The blowing of the sliofar at the Western Wall was prohibited by the British since 1931, because of Moslem opposition. In spita of this, somuone blew the shofar there each year until the end of British Mandate, and the man doing so was always sentenced to eight months in jail. This was the first time in over 30 years that Jews were able to celebrate this most holy of Jewish holidays at the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism. Special Yom Kippur services were also held at Rachel's Tomb, outside Jerusalem, and at M'Orat Hamachpeilah. the graves of tha forefathers in Hebron, by soldiers in those areas.
