 The Paratroopers Cry by Hayim Hefer, 1967
This wall has heard many prayers
This wall has seen the fall of many other walls
This wall has felt the touch of mourning women
This wall has felt petitions lodged between its stones
This wall saw Rabbi Yehuda Halevi trampled before it
This wall has seen Caesars rise and fall
But this wall had never seen paratroopers cry.
 Today is Yom Yerushalayim – Jerusalem Day – a day to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
 This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the Jerusalem Embassy Act making it official United States policy that Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel. As a staff member, I helped draft this historic legislation; as a Congressman I continue to urge its enforcement.Â
 History teaches us that a divided Jerusalem leads to conflict while a unified Jerusalem protects the rights of all faiths.
 I extend my best wishes to the people of Israel for a joyous Jerusalem Day and urge my colleagues to reaffirm the principles of the Jerusalem Embassy Act.
