This Sunday is Jerusalem Day. It commemorates the day, during the miraculous Six-Day War, when Jerusalem was liberated. Blood flowed freely thru the ancient, narrow alley-ways, as the Israeli soldiers did everything in their power not to damage any of the holy sites. The soldiers rushed quickly to the Western Wall (formerly known as the Wailing Wall), as Rabbi Shlomo Goren blew the shofar (ram's horn), just as the priests had done when the walls of Jericho fell down. Who can forget that iconic picture of the young, brave soldiers staring at the Wall, liberated after 2,000 years? In celebration of this great event, every Jew, Christian, and even Muslim (whose Quran says that Israel belongs to Moses' people), should listen to Naomi Shemer's song "Jerusalem of Gold/Yerushalayim Shel Zahav".
