Jerusalem Day (Yom Yerushalayim) Starts Tonight in Israel

 

Tonight at sundown Israel starts celebrating Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, a national holiday.

Fifty-six years ago, in 1967, the Israel Defense Forces broke through the Jordanian defenses and captured the Old City of Jerusalem, marking the reunification of the city under Israeli control.

Last year on this day, people from all around the world came together to talk about what they love most about the magnificent city of Jerusalem. 

Wishing all our readers a happy Jerusalem Day!
