The Six Day War Scroll: The Story of Yom Yerushalayim and the Six Days of Deliverance

In this video (05:35), Dr. Hagai Ben-Artzi introduces his book, “The Six Day War Scroll,” which tells the miraculous story of Israel’s victory in the Six Day War with an emphasis on the divine hand that saved Israel from her enemies. Stylistically mimicking the Scroll of Esther, this work is designed to be read on Yom Yerushalayim – the annual national holiday celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War – as praise and thanks to God. This video shows how the Six Day War was interpreted by many in the religious-Zionist community, igniting a messianic fervor that led to the founding of the settlement movement.
