Yom Yerushalayim, or Jerusalem Day, is a modern Israeli holiday celebrating the reunification of the city of Jerusalem under the governmental authority of the modern state of Israel. Jerusalem is home to many religions and serves as a major holy site for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This creates the complex nature of Jerusalem’s existence, however, it also provides a framework for a future that is more tolerant and globally aware. There are many ways to commemorate this holiday, but so we at Beit Lechem Missions Foundation has set up the program for this week. 

Jerusalem Day, also known as Yom Yerushalayim, is an Israeli national holiday celebrated on the 28th day of Iyar, which is the eighth month according to the Hebrew calendar. This year, it falls on May 18. It commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City after the six-day war against the Jordanian forces in 1967. The day is marked with different events such as recitations of the Hallel prayer in Synagogues, lectures on the history of Jerusalem, street parades, parties, state ceremonies, and memorial services for those that died in the six-day war.
