True, however, those who associate the victory with this day davka give credence to Zionism and the state, which instituted that this be celebrated on this day.

True, but it is still a great zchus and nes that we still have this wall standing from our holy Beis Hamikdash, may it be rebuilt speedily in our days!!! Just enjoy the beautiful photos!

I say Hallel on Yom Yerushalayim and I say Tachanun on Yud Tes Kislev. Any problem with that??

Fact

We dont celebrate or say Hallel on either Yom Ha’atzmaut or on Yom Yerushalayim. May we celebrate the real simcha with the coming of Moshiach takief u’miyad mamesh.

Very Pretty!!!

You need to get your non-Chabad holidays straight! Yom Yerushalayim and Yom Ha’atzmaut are in two different categories. The only connection between the two is that we don’t say Hallel on either. But, then again, there are many days on which we don’t say Hallel.

fish eye view?

I think you meant Bird’s-eye view…

(I guess one picture is a fish eye view of the bird’s-eye view… :))

Jerusalem Day is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in June 1967.

The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to thank God for the 6-day victory and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of “Next Year in Jerusalem”.
