Photos & video from Yom Yerushalayim 05252017

Now that I'm back at my laptop, I can share some photos and videos from the 50th Anniversary celebration of Jerusalem.

I saw this presentation on the Jaffa Road wall of the old city on Thursday evening, 25 May.  This was a rerun of the presentation on Sunday, 21 May, but there were also live music/dance, fireworks, and remarks from the Mayor and Prime Minister on Sunday night.

The Beginning
There was a quick run through Jerusalem's history starting with the binding of Isaac (above).
 This first video was posted by the Temple Institute, but it captures the beginning of the presentation.


Greetings from citizens (behind each of the shutters)

I loved the 3-D illusions

These two graphics were behind a song


Can you see the tank breaking through?

This is one of the transcripts of the victory reports on the ground in 1967.  Thrilling!
 Look for the stones rearranging.

This is the "Hallelujah" song.
