Happy Jerusalem Reunification Day

My apologies for interrupting the highly amusing comment thread on why guys don't should compliment girls on shidduch dates...yet due to the importance of today to the Jewish people, I wanted to remind the SerandEz readership that today is Yom Yerushalayim -- Jerusalem Reunification Day.

I posted about it here on my blog, along with the audio recording of the IDF troops racing towards Har Habayit, the shofer blowing by Rav Goren, the recitation of Birkat She'hechiyanu, and the joyful -- almost inconceivable singing of the Hatikva beneath the newly liberated Kotel 41 years ago.

You too can live the dream...there are still spaces on Nefesh b'Nefesh flights!

Chag Sameach,

Jameel @ The Muqata


PS: Don't forget to see the JBlogosphere float from yesterday's salute to Israel Day Parade.

    In addition to footage from the war itself, you can watch a 45 minute presentation from the History Channel on the military aspect of the victory.
    Also, video footage at this site from today's Yom Yerushalayim celebration at Yeshivat Mercaz Harav.
