Liberation of Jerusalem 1967 Israel Hooded Sweatshirt
One of the most significant results of the Six Day War in 1967 was the reunification of Jerusalem. For the Jews, access was restored to the Western Wall, and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. Moslems and Christians were allowed free access to their shrines, and holy places. Shortly after the war, the walls, fences and barbed wire were dismantled and the city became one again. For nineteen years, the border was maintained to protect the inhabitants of Jewish Jerusalem, and in a matter of days the engineers eagerly destroyed it. Traffic began to flow in both directions across the former borderline. The reunification of Jerusalem restored the city to its natural position as the focal point of the country. There has been a rapid growth of the population as well as a tremendous expansion in the size of the city. Many new neighborhoods have been built, industry has expanded and cultural institutions have been developed.
The Jewish Quarter of the Old City, which had been virtually destroyed under Jordanian rule, was restored and repopulated. Mount Scopus was no longer an isolated enclave, and the Hebrew University campus, and the Hadassah Hospital were rebuilt and expanded. For the Jews, this was a time like no other. The access to the Western Wall gave them not only religious faith and hope but it also strengthened their belief in their country. The State of Israel’s capital was finally liberated, and Jerusalem seemed to have finally inherited its Biblical legacy.
