One of the rarest Jewish ceremonies is that of Birkat Hachama. It takes place once every 28 years and marks the time when the sun returns to the same point as it was duration the creation of the world. The blessing has to be made with the sun in sight and a few of the WUJS participants made their way down to the Kotel for 5 o'clock in the morning to join thousands of others in this remarkable event.
