Hence, the holiest place for the Jewish people, we send a prayer of unity, partnership and brotherhood to all "It is a great privilege to stand here with you on the feast day of our beloved capital. I call on the whole house of Israel to immigrate to Jerusalem and enjoy the great variety that our city has to offer."
Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Places Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz: "The secret of the eternal chain of generations that passed on our dream from generation to generation, that kept us from dreaming of returning to Jerusalem.
Thanks to them you are here, and I will be here, and I will be here.
Tonight I want to say thank you in my name and on your behalf to all the generations that were before us, who dreamed of Jerusalem, who wrote about Jerusalem, who swore to return to Jerusalem from Ethiopia, Hungary, Yemen, Spain.
Even though they've never seen her.
Thanks to you, we returned home.
Thanks to you, the prayer here tonight and thanks to you, with the help of Gd, we will be privileged to witness the coming of our righteous Messiah and the building of our temple soon in our day, Amen. '

The multi-participant event takes place against the backdrop of growing threats from Hamas and Palestinian terrorist organizations to produce riots during a flag parade to be held across the city tomorrow.
The parade, which takes place every year on Jerusalem Day, is expected to pass through the Nablus Gate in accordance with the government's decision.
As a result, the Palestinians are threatening to undermine the proper existence of the parade.
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation, the Jerusalem Municipality, the Jerusalem Ministry of Heritage and the Jerusalem Development Authority took part in the preparation of the event.
