Since the Destruction of the Temple (some 2,000 years ago), Jews do not have any required pilgrimages, so there are no rituals that would be associated with them.
In a more generic and modern context, because the existence of the State of Israel enables Jews to make pilgrimages to the Land of Israel (where before such access was forbidden or severely curtailed), many Jews make pilgrimages to such sites as the Western Wall, the Cave of the Patriarchs, the Tombs of Joseph and Rachel, and the Medieval Kabbalistic Synagogues of Zefat (Safed). Jews who perform these pilgrimages do not do anything special at these places other than pray in typical Jewish style. The one exception is the Western Wall, where Jews will often write small paper notes with prayers to God and stick them within the crevices of the wall after praying.

In the days when the Jewish Temple stood in Jerusalem, Jews were supposed to make a pilgrimage three times each year to the Temple. On Passover, on Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) and on Succot (the festival of Booths). These pilgrimage holy days were ended when Rome destroyed the temple in the year 70. It's probable that many Jews did not make every pilgrimage back in late Temple times because the Jewish community was already spreading out into the Roman empire even a century before the Temple was destroyed, and Jews living in Greece and Rome could not take perilous trips three times a year.
