Yom Yerushalayim Program

Annual observance to celebrate the anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. Includes the showing of the film, “I Am a Jerusalemite,” starring legendary Israeli singer Yehoram Gaon. Although born in Jerusalem, Gaon was, like all Jews, forbidden from entering most of the city until the 1967 reunification. This fascinating documentary follows Gaon’s exploration of his city, from his grandfather’s simple home to the Western Wall and the Old City’s open markets. Along the way, he performs eight of his most-loved songs that pay tribute to his birthplace.
