Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com The Three Musketeers at the Kotel The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. Yom Yerushalayim for Hebrew Year 5785 begins at sundown on Sunday, 25 May 2025 and ends at nightfall on Monday, 26 May 2025. Jerusalem Day (Hebrew: יום ירושלים, Yom Yerushaláyim) is an Israeli national holiday that commemorates the "reunification" of East Jerusalem (including the Old City) with West Jerusalem following the Six-Day War of 1967, which saw Israel occupy East Jerusalem and the West Bank, effectively annexing the former. It is celebrated annually on 28 Iyar on the Hebrew calendar, and is marked officially throughout Israel with state ceremonies and memorial services. In the Six Day War, the Jewish nation, with God's help, achieved a tremendous victory over its enemies. The war began on three fronts, and in the span of just six days, we utterly shattered our enemies' military strength and dealt them a total defeat. At the same time, we liberated all of the holy places in Judea and Samaria – most significantly Jerusalem and the Temple Mount – along with the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan. Anyone who viewed these events honestly, and had even the slightest spark of faith in his heart, saw clearly the words of our holy Torah, "For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to save you and to deliver your enemies before you"(Devarim 23:15). This great victory was truly a manifest miracle. In order to thank Hashem and publicize the miracle, the Chief Rabbinate, headed by Rabbi Isser Yehuda Unterman and Rabbi Yitzchak Nissim, established the twenty-eighth day of Iyar, the day on which Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were liberated, as a day of thanksgiving and joy for all of Israel. They also instituted the recitation of Hallel with a blessing after the morning services (Shacharit). Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin and Rabbi Shaul Yisraeli also participated in and supported this decision A notable celebration that marks the holiday is a flag-flying parade known as the Dance of Flags. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day to be a minor religious holiday, as it marks the regaining for Jewish people of access to the Western Wall. Jerusalem Day march The Dance of Flags (Hebrew: ריקוד דגלים or ריקודגלים, romanized: Rikud Degalim), or March of Flags (מצעד הדגלים, Mitzad ha'Degalim), is an annual flag flying parade on Jerusalem Day to celebrate what some Israelis term  "reunification of Jerusalem", The  event, which passes through the Old City's Muslim Quarter in East Jerusalem. During the parade, Israeli flag-bearers march through the city streets, accompanied by mobile orchestras on trucks playing Hasidic songs. At several points along the way, stationary stages are set up on which performances by artists take place.  In most years, the parade begins in the area of center of Jerusalem, from Independence Park or Sacher Park, then ascends east toward Jaffa Road, through Safra Square, to IDF Square. Mass dancing in collaboration with singers and public figures.  What's inside the Statute of Liberty? 80 Years After WWII, Seven Largest Jewish Communities Report Unprecedented Global Antisemitism https://www.adl.org/resources/...
