Today is the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem
On the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to reaffirm his commitment to Israel and send prayers to the Jewish State on behalf of Hoosiers in the 6th Congressional District.
This anniversary marks the date that Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, after nearly two decades of divided rule which restricted access to the Holy City.
Messer also submitted a prayer letter that will be placed between the sacred stones of the Western Wall to mark the anniversary. He was invited to do so by Speaker Yuli Yoel Edelstein – the leader of Israel’s legislature, the Knesset. Messer’s letter is available to view here.
On the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem and on behalf of Hoosiers from Indiana’s 6th District, I send my prayers and best wishes to the Jewish state.
It is our hope that the special relationship between America and Israel continues to be strengthened and grow. Israel is our most important friend in the region and among our strongest allies in the world.
On this anniversary, let it be reaffirmed that Indiana, and America, stand with Israel.
The Holy City is a place of prayer for all people and this day provides us with the opportunity to pray for the Jewish state. May it remain a beacon of light, representing democracy and freedom. And may peace and prosperity reign for its people.Â
The eternal capital of the State of Israel, Jerusalem, is also the seat of parliament. From one representative body to another, we say Shalom and God Bless.
Our prayers are with Israel today, tomorrow and always.
