Israel Celebrates Jerusalem Day, Marking 53 Years Since Reunification of Capital…..see note please
The Israeli armed forces liberated Jerusalem after Jordanian rule trashed ancient cemeteries, defiled shrines, and forbid Christian access to holy churches and shrines. And it too another 53 year for an American President named Donald Trump to fulfill a promise and move the American Embassy to Israel’s eternal capital….and the locus of Jewish prayer and hopes for centuries…rsk
Israel celebrated Jerusalem Day on Friday, marking the 53rd anniversary (according to the Hebrew calendar) of the liberation of its capital city during the 1967 Six-Day War.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry tweeted, “All it takes is a glimpse to fall in love with this breathtaking city. Happy #JerusalemDay from the eternal capital of the Jewish people.”
The Israel Defense Forces — whose troops freed the eastern part of Jerusalem, including the Old City, from Jordanian control — tweeted, “On this day in the Hebrew calendar, we celebrate the liberation of Jerusalem. The Old City — lost to the Jewish people for 2,000 years — was finally back in our hands.”
“Today, we celebrate the triumph of those IDF heroes & reaffirm our commitment to securing Jerusalem forevermore,” it added.
