Tonight in Israel will mark the 41st commemoration of Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, marking when the IDF unified Jerusalem as one city in the Six Day War.
the greatest part of this event was the return of Jews to their most holiest site, Har HaBeit, the Temple Mount and the returning of Jews to the Kotel, Western Wall after their expulsion following the War of Independence in 1948.
Special functions are held, not just in Israel, but across the jewish world and Hallel, Psalms of praise, are recited on this day in Synagogues around the world.
here's a link regarding the history of this day:
