The Three Festival S of Pilgrimage , more known under the name of Shloshet ha Regalim , are three major festivals of the Judaïsme, during which the Israélite S alive in the Royaume of Israel or the Royaume of Juda were to carry out a Pèlerinage with Jerusalem, as well as theirs the Torah prescribed. In Jerusalem, they took part in festivities and a ritual worship in conjunction with the services of the cohanim (" prêtres") with the Temple of Jerusalem. These three festivals are:

1. Pessa' H (" the Passover "),

2. Shavouot (the " Pentecost "), and
3. Soukkot (" Gate vault s").

After the destruction of the Second Temple, the pilgrimage ceased being an obligation, and was not held any more with one national scales. During the offices synagogaux, the passages relating to the Festival observed are read aloud in a Sefer Torah on the bimah or the eikhal (" autel"), and mark the crucial point of it. During the Jewish celebrations in current the Israel, much of Jews living in or near Jerusalem makes an effort to attend the offices of prayer to the Wailing Wall, in order to " émuler" old pilgrimages as far as their means.
