How to Celebrate Yom Yerushalaim 5786 - May 13, 2026 - AI-Generated Summary (AI can be inaccurate. Check important information.)

Yom Yerushalayim signifies a theological shift, revealing the Jewish people's eternal covenant and refuting supersessionism by the return to Biblical heartlands. This reunification of Jerusalem shatters claims that the Church replaced Israel. Rav Kook links the restoration of land, language, and sovereignty to Mashiach ben Yosef. Jewish redemption unfolds gradually, with the State's establishment in 1948 as the foundation and 1967 as its theological climax. The return to Jerusalem proves Jews are a sovereign nation, not just an exiled religious group. The 1967 events compelled recognition that the scepter will not depart from Judah, as foretold. Therefore, the day can be seen as Yom Gilui HaBrit, a day of covenantal revelation, publicly confirming God's promise to Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov.
