Jerusalem Day (Hebrew: Yom Yerushalayim) Jerusalem Day [is] a minor religious holiday to thank God for victory in the Six-Day War [1967] and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of "Next Year in Jerusalem".  http://www.hebcal.com/holidays/yom-yerushalayim


Since the destruction of Jerusalem ... began thousands of years of mourning, the reunification of Jerusalem is considered a joyous celebration that begins the process of reversing thousands of years of destruction and exile. ...In Jerusalem itself, thousands of people march around the city and walk through the liberated Old City, where Jews were denied access from 1948-1967. The march ends at the Kotel (Western Wall), one of the remaining retaining walls surrounding the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. At the Kotel, there are speeches and concerts and celebratory dancing to mark the day. http://www.hebrew4christians.com/...yom_yerushalayim.html


Redemption with mercy comes in the spring. Redemption with judgment comes in the fall.  Israel's War of Independence occurred in Iyyar and so did the Six Days War.   Even in the wars one can see the redemptive "process" at work. The lands were restored into our hands... in 1948, Jewish sovereignty was restored in Eretz Yisrael, ... [and]  in 1967, Yerushalayim , Hevron, Yericho and Shechem were restored to us, but despite the famous cry of "Har Habayit b'yadeinu!" the Temple Mount was handed over to the Arabs. And Arabs continued to be a vast majority in the Old City, Hevron, Yericho and Shechem making our hold on these places tentative at best.  In the next war of redemption, all of these places, including the Temple Mount, will come fully into our hands and all our enemies will be scattered, never to contest our claims to them again. And it might be only days or weeks away...


A difference of 45 years and this year, May 20th will mark 45 years since Yerushalayim was unified. And 2,844 years ago, Shlomo HaMelech began building the First Temple in the month of Iyyar.  Once all impediments are removed, we, too, will begin to build - The Third Temple - to our God. Why shouldn't it also be in the month of Iyyar - the month of Ziv - "brilliance?"  http://palmtreeofdeborah.blogspot.com/2012/04/iyar-and-wars-of-redemption.html


The Asifa for protecting against the negative effects of the Internet is scheduled for this coming Sunday, May 20th, 2012 - Iyar 28, 5772 in Citi Field in New York.   ...the current effort to bring about purity and holiness will be enormous.  ...In my humble opinion, it is no coincidence that the Asifa is taking place on Yom Yerushalayim.  ...Yom Yerushalayim represents the return to Tzion - another name for Yerushalayim.  There is a very interesting connection between the year 5727 (the year of the Six Day War) and this year - 5772.  The Deborah blog already discussed this.  However, we can now add another dimension to this.  Namely, that the Asifa, which is a united stand against immorality, ...but will now be enhanced as it will now be for all of Kelal Yisrael. ...The Six Day War was a victory against our enemies, but alas, it was not complete.  We are still missing the most important part - the Beit Hamikdash.  ...For Tzion, we pray that in the merit of the Asifa where we stand up for holiness - that the full Redemption will merely be years later.  http://yeranenyaakov.blogspot.com/2012/05/yosef-hatzaddik-asifa-and-yom.html

Shalom.  In last couple weeks,  Rav Benayahu Shmueli student came to him and showed him this message Rav Kaduri gave to his Havruta & student about Moshiach coming by Chodesh Av. He said Rav Benayahu Shmueli that few weeks Gog Magog will break out Before Chodesh Av he said we should pray to Ha'Shem to come now.  In this process the world will come to accept Moshiach ben Yosef.  He will appear in Galilee after and before world goes strike Iran.  He said we should daven pray it should be much less then Chodesh Av.   Rav Shmueli said that war Iran will happen in coming weeks - he did not say who will attack who Israel attack Iran or Iran attack world.

It was on Hannukka, 5766, about a month before the passing of Moreinu VeRabbeinu... we sat and learned... as is our custom every evening. Suddenly, the rabbi asked me, 'Why did Yehuda do this?' In other words, why did Yehuda bring the Mashiah with the story of Yehuda and Tamar in a way that appears not proper?  I answered him, 'The honored rabbi knows all the secrets... HKBH brought the Mashiah in an outer form that looks ...like it is being done in an unholy way, and by doing so, the matter will be hidden from the eyes of unbelievers.  The Rav repeated the aforementioned question again and again, and then, I understood that the rabbi is interested that we speak about the Mashiah.  I got the courage and asked him, "Our rabbi! When will Mashiah come?" The rabbi answered me, "I cannot reveal," and laughed a big laugh. I asked him again, "Our rabbi! When will Mashiah come?" The rabbi answered in 2 words, [year 5772]," (which is the year in which we are currently), and he repeated this twice. I was very shocked by his words, and immediately, when I left the rabbi's home, I went up to ...the Yeshiva of the rabbi, and told over what the rabbi said to them - they were all amazed.  About 2 weeks later, in the beginning of Tevet, 5766, the rabbi was admitted to Bikur Cholim Hospital in Yerushalayim. I would arrive daily to the hospital to learn with the rabbi. And then, I asked him again, "Our rabbi! In what month and in what year will Mashiah come?" And the rabbi answered me, "In the month of Av, 5772." And he repeated this twice. It is important to note that the rabbi retained conciousness until 2 weeks before his passing. The rabbi died on 29 Tevet, 5766 (as is known, he died at the age of 113 years old!).  From that day on until today, I publicize and tell this over to everyone I meet.
