Dear Friend of Israel:
Yom Yerushalayim Sameach!
Happy Jerusalem Day!
Thirty-five years ago, a day after the Israel Independence
Day parade in 1967, Egypt put itself on a war footing. Syria
promised to support its ally. Egyptian forces then closed
the Strait of Tiran, blocking the country's access to the
Red Sea.
The country realized it was in a fight for its life. Hostile
enemies on all of our borders were closing in. Leaders of
Arab governments were calling for the state's destruction.
In a lightning-fast but brutal six days the Israeli Defense
Forces swept out the invaders and expanded the country's boundaries.
Central to the battles was the fight to reunify Jerusalem
under Israeli and Jewish rule. The 19-year-old stake through
the heart of the city that kept Jews from the Old City and
the Western Wall was quickly torn down, and a joyous reunification
occurred.
Relive those exciting and dangerous days through the exclusive
"Six Day War 35th Anniversary Special Collection" from The
Jerusalem Post. These articles and photographs, available
only online here and nowhere else, will help you understand
the drama, danger and spirit of those days.
These articles are essential reading today, especially as
the issues raised on the battlefields of 1967 remain at the
core of today's discussions and troubles in Israel.
Read exclusive, first-hand accounts by longtime Jerusalem
Post writers Mike Ronnen and Abraham Rabinovich, the celebrated
chronicler of the battle for Jerusalem. Read touching accounts,
poetry and recollections by famous writers such as Yehuda
Amichai.
Order access to these articles, which would cost you significantly
more to collect individually through our archives, and you
will be brought back to those times, as well as propelled
forward to a deeper understanding of just what is at stake
today. Some of this material is not even available in our
archives, but only through this Special Collection.
Read these articles today, for they will be available for
a short time only, during this season where Israel and the
Jewish people worldwide celebrate the 35th reunification of
Jerusalem and the wonder that was the Six Day War.
