Jeruaslem, Israel - May 24, 2017 - Yom Yerushalayim - Under blue sky and warm sun, tens of thousands came from around the world to celebrate Yom Yerushalayim in Yerushalayim. Spectators of all ages lined the streets to watch the long, unorganized stream of people many with Israeli flags make their way to the Kosel.

 

Groups from around Israel and the world participated. Three bands blasted loud music. The boys were in front of Heichel Shlomo as usual. Most impressive was the size of the girls' dancing, which stretched as far as one could see towards the center of Yerushalayim. 

 

Buses and traffic backed up as some streets were closed. Families picnicked in the parks. The excitement of the day evident as many participants stopped for photos,
