Battle of the Bands - Kotel/Western Wall style

This story will hopefully be contained/made relevant by my next posting, but at any rate, today, Rosh Chodesh Nissan (1st of the month of Nissan) I went with my neighbor Alex up to Har HaBayit (aka the Temple Mount). As part of this, we davened "netz" (earliest minyan possible, it was already moving at 5:30am).

There was an eclectic mix of groups - ashkenazi, sephardi, chasidish, etc.

Here below is netz, or actually a few minutes before it, from today at the Kotel/Western Wall. And yes, the answer to your next question, there really WERE that many birds there this AM - they were quite loud, as you can easily hear......



Far and away, the group that stole the show, took the prize, whatever metaphor you want was the "yeshiva boys from Otniel" (at least I think from Otniel - they were definitely yeshiva boys, and there was a group of them going to Har Habayit that we saw later, but maybe they were different...)

They made me proud!!!! See the yeshiva boys below......(hint - notice the few people that were also davening there totally staring at these kids like they are from Mars...)
