In the Six Day War, God blessed us with a resounding victory over our enemies. This led to the reunification of Jerusalem and the liberation of holy sites in Judea and Samaria, the most important of which was the Temple Mount. The Golan and half of the Sinai Peninsula were captured at this time as well. This historic victory was an obvious miracle. The Knesset declared the 28th of Iyar, when the Temple Mount was liberated, a national holiday. The Chief Rabbinate established it as a day of celebration and gratitude to God, which includes the recital of Hallel.
