Yom Yerushalayim
DUST AND STARS--TODAY IN JEWISH HISTORY (Abridged)
Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day):
In 5728 (1967), Israeli paratroopers liberated the Old City of Jerusalem during the Six Day War, restoring Jewish control of the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site. Soldiers danced, sang and cried at the Western Wall, the site of Jewish prayers for centuries. Iyar 28 is celebrated every year as Yom Yerushalayim, including a special service of prayer composed by the Chief Rabbinate, commemorating the reunification of the Holy City, which has stood as the capital of the Jewish nation for over 3,000 years.
