Yom Yerushalayim - 28 Iyyar 5727 - (Jerusalem Unification day). Prior to the 6-Day War, Israel had sent repeated requests to King Hussein of Jordan appealing to him remain outside the conflict (trying, therefore, to prevent a three-front war). Due to Arab League pressure, Jordan began to shell Jerusalem on June 5. When the Jordanian force crossed the cease-fire line at Government House, Israel retaliated. General Uzi Narkis brought in Colonel Motta Gur to lead the attack in Eastern Jerusalem. On June 7, 1967 at 10:15, with the radio confirmation, "The Temple Mount is in our hands," the Israeli flag was raised above the Western wall.

28 Iyyar 2884 (May 14 876 BCE): This is the traditional date of death of Samuel, prophet and priest (born 2832). Samuel was given to the High Priest, Eli, to raise by his parents Hannah and Elkanah as part of Hannah's promise to God after having trouble in conceiving. As the first prophet following the period of the Judges, he anointed both Saul and David as Kings, despite his reluctance to establish a monarchy.
