Today is Jerusalem Day, the 51st anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. From 1948-1967, Jerusalem was divided. The Six Day War in 1967 resulted in Israel capturing the remainder of the city (and other territories). As the sun was setting last night, I could hear teenagers outside singing and dancing. Journeying to the Western Wall, there was a large crowd. I could hear more singing.
There has been celebrating today. It seems like lots of teenagers out singing, marching the streets, and carrying Israeli flags. There was a big celebration at the Western Wall this evening. It’s fun to be in Jerusalem this long and be able to experience all these events.
