Rabbi Shlomo Goren, the late Chief Rabbi of Israel who blew the shofar at the Western Wall when the Israel Defense Forces liberated the Old City in 1967, would be prepared to die for a united capital if he were living today, his son Abraham (Rami) Goren told Arutz Sheva.

Speaking before Tuesday night’s ceremonies marking the 15th anniversary of his father’s death, Rami Goren said his father “was a pillar of fire that went before us.”
