Priestly blessings

Order of the priestly blessings. Part of the ceremony during each holiday presented in the exhibition hall is when the descendants of the tribe of Aaron, the so called Kohanim, bless the community. They say the ancient formula by opening their hands for the blessing gesture as depicted on the pages of the prayer book: “The Lord bless you and protect you! The Lord deal kindly and graciously with you! The Lord bestow His favor upon you and grant you peace!” Óbuda, 1819.
