Out of Control Crowds at Kever Shmuel HaNavi on his Yartzheit

Description

Though many gathered at the kever tonight, most of the people who visit the kever will be coming tomorrow evening, as the yartzheits of Shmuel HaNavi and Chanca are back to back. While the crowd control and co-ordination between security agencies during the day are down to a "T", the crowds by the kever were out of control as the limited security personnel had to contend with throngs of people in a futile attempt to keep the kever from overcrowding. The presence of medics, who come in large numbers during the day, was sorely missed as the crowds began to be overwhelming (Yosef Gottlieb / Kuvien Images)
