Israel Celebrates Jerusalem Day
(Times of Israel) Alexander Fulbright - Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Tuesday opened the 50th annual celebrations of Jerusalem Day, which marks Israel's reunification of the city in the 1967 Six-Day War. "We will always insist on Jerusalem. There never has been, there will never be any other reality. Here, in these stones, beats the heart of the Jewish People," he said at the official ceremony at the Western Wall. "Jerusalem is the heart of the State of Israel, and the Kotel (Wall) is the heart of Jerusalem," said Rivlin, whose family has lived in Jerusalem since 1809.
