Every I time I
hear the recording or see the images, I feel something inside.
Jerusalem has a powerful hold on our souls and imaginations.
Sunday is Yom Yerushalayim, commemorating and celebrating 49
years since the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War. I
think that Yom Yerushalayim has a different feeling than Yom Ha'Atzmaut.
Yom Ha'Atzmaut is the grand moment of national return, the rebirth of Jewish
sovereignty in our ancient land. Yom Yerushalayim is more spiritual, a
profound and intimate opportunity to joyously celebrate the reunification of
the Jewish soul with the Holy City.
How does Yom Yerushalayim make you feel?
I never had to imagine an Israel without a unified
Jerusalem. On Sunday, each of us should take one action to show our
support for Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people.
"Har ha-bayit b'yadeinu!" was not only the
announcement of a military objective in 1967. It remains a declaration of
pride in the Jewish present and hope for the future.
