Yom Yerushalayim
Yom Yerushalayim
Although there are no specific rituals connected with this relatively new holiday, it is common to recite the Hallel (Psalms 115-118), Psalm 107, and the Aleinu, or concluding prayer. Because this day falls during the Lag ba-Omer period—which begins on the second night of Passover and continues through Shavuot—the mourning customs traditionally observed during this time are suspended for the day.
