The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress extends its warmest congratulations on Jerusalem Day.

On the 28th of the Hebrew month of Iyar (occurring on July 2 this year), the Jewish people celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem, which took place on June 7, 1967.

This is a landmark day for the Jewish nation. Following the declaration of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, Jerusalem was established as its capital. However, during the first 19 years of Israeli independence, the city remained divided. Its eastern sector, which contains the premier Jewish holy site—the Western Wall—was under Jordanian control.

It was not until 1967, for the first time in two millennia, that Jerusalem was reunited, restoring Jewish access to the Old City and the Western Wall. Consequently, this day stands as a symbol of historical justice. Today, Jerusalem is a modern, rapidly developing metropolis that preserves a profound historical heritage.
