Thousands of yeshiva students, high school youth, and supporters of all ages marched to the Western Wall in Jerusalem during the course of the night, in celebration of Jerusalem Day. Several dozen of them walked all the way from the Ashdod-area Kibbutz Yavneh; the walk, which has become a Yavneh tradition, took some 18 hours. Today, the 28th of Iyar, marks the 34th anniversary of the liberation and reunification of Israel\'s capital during the Six Day War.
