The late Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren Sounds the Shofar (Ram's Horn) upon the Recapture in June, 1967 of Jerusalem's holy Jewish site, the Western Wall, from Jordanian Muslim occupation
Jerusalem Unification Day has again been celebrated in Israel and throughout the world with the exception of that 7th century alternate universe: the Muslim world.
It marks 44 years since the amazing and miraculous event took place when the Jewish people's 3,000 year old capital city was restored to the Jewish state in the 1967 Six-Day War.
For 19 long years from 1948 to 1967, Jordan had occupied Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the eastern half of Jerusalem. Only Pakistan and Britain had ever recognized Jordan's illegal occupation.
