On the 28th of Iyar in 1967 Jewish forces courageously freed Jerusalem, after 19 years of Jordanian occupation, during which the Jordanians had expelled all Jews in the quarter, burned down the shuls of the Old City & desecrated our cemeteries. The IDF liberated our holy places, including the Kotel & Har HaBayit, & reunified our eternal capital. The Chief Rabbinate declared this day to be a festive occasion on which special Tehilim & Hallel (with a bracha) should be joyously recited in order to give praise & thanks to Hashem, whose Hand was clearly evident in this great miracle. There are those who find even more religious significance in this day than Yom Ha’atzmaut, as that event was declared in advance by the United Nations, while Yom Yerushalayim emerged purely min hashamayim as a result of a war & the fortuitous (for us!) decision of the Jordanians to enter at a late stage into the conflict, despite our appeal to them to stay out of the fighting.

    The Laws of Three Weeks

    May I Attend a Wedding During the Three Weeks?

    I live in a predominantly Ashkenazic community where the “Three Weeks” are observed with no music, and certainly no celebrations or weddings. A Sefardic family in the neighborhood has scheduled a wedding during the Three Weeks.

    Customs of the Three Weeks

    The three weeks that begin on the night of the Seventeenth of Tammuz and continue until the Ninth of Av are days of national woefulness. The sages therefore advise being especially careful during this period, for it is a time designated for calamity.
