What is Jerusalem Day? 
by Arik Barel 

Jerusalem Day is the celebration of the unification of Jerusalem in the 1967 war. When Israel was formally established in 1948, the UN proposal was that Jerusalem be an international city. The Arab nations flatly rejected this.Once established in 1948, Israel was immediately attacked and Jordan took control of Jerusalem. Not only did Jordan take control of Jerusalem, they attempted to erase its Jewishness by destroying synagogues and desecrating Jewish cemeteries.
In 1967, after Jordan began shelling Israeli citizens, the fight for Jerusalem reignited. It took Israel only one day to regain control over Jerusalem. It is this victory that we celebrate on Jerusalem Day, the 28th of Adar.

Celebrate Jerusalem Day
Celebrating Jerusalem Day is more than just a special day – it’s a celebration of the return of the Western Wall to the Jewish people, the rejoicing in the reunification of Israel’s capital, a day to thank God for this victory, and a time to remember Jewish history.

The unification of Jerusalem was not an isolated incident, rather the culmination of thousands of years of conflict. Jerusalem Day is a fitting time to review some history about Jerusalem, such as the countless sieges that plagued the city (52 of them), with the most recent one being in 1948. Or learn more about the various captures and recaptures of the city (44 of them). You can also explore the historical sites of Jerusalem online or plan your visit.

“I often hear them accuse Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem. That's like accusing America of Americanizing Washington, or the British of Anglicizing London. You know why we're called 'Jews'? Because we come from Judea.” Benjamin Netanyahu.
